Recenzje

"John Robison's insightful and illuminating study on the ten symphonies of Chinese composer Zhu Jianer is an important contribution to both the growing English-language scholarship on twentieth-century Chinese music and the enduring heritage of the symphonic genre. Robison convincingly demonstrates why these works matter, what makes them distinctive, and how Zhu, a composer largely unknown outside of China, has conceptualized the idea of a symphony and realized it in his own creative output." -William Everett, Professor Emeritus of Musicology, The University of Missouri-Kansas City
