Reviews
'... contains much valuable information.' Misha Donat, BBC Music Magazine
'... full of intriguing perspectives on what was thought to be well known.' Laura Tunbridge, The Times Literary Supplement
'Readers are likely to want to dip into this book, and anyone doing so will come across some fascinating material ... Brahms in Context is dedicated to the memory of Robert Pascall, whose own work (as writer, analyst and editor) was such an inspiring contribution to Brahms scholarship. Several of his enthusiasts are reflected here and he would, I think, have loved this book.' Nigel Simeone, Gramophone
