Recenzje

’Mary Cyr's wide experience shines through the succinctness of this very manageable guide to baroque performance practice. Essential materials are excellently chosen, and skillfully cogent bibliographies to each chapter inform readers of what to read if they wish to know more.....Chapters are arranged by clearly defined topics so that the reader can easily dip in according to his needs.....it should win many friends as a right-minded, 90s view of where we are at’. Richard Langham Smith, The Musical Times
