Opis

The Elusive Celt departs from previous work in the wider ethnomusicological field about traditional Irish music within its home contexts by adding a central and eastern European perspective on perceptions of Irish musical culture and images of 'the Celtic.'

Recenzje

«As a traditional Irish musician I find Schiller's book offers an original and unique insight into the Irish music session as it is played in Europe today.» (Bernadette Comac, traditional Irish Music Teacher)

«The popularity of Irish traditional music in Europe is in itself an interesting phenomenon, and particularly as it crosses the divide between East and West. Schiller's book thereby offers an unusual and possibly unique perspective on the subject. It is good, at last, to see a book on this subject. Schiller has devoted her work to Irish music across the continent and guides us expertly.» (Martin Stokes, King Edward Professor of Music, King's College London)
