Reviews
"The connection between Sibelius and the Russian tradition--an influence that went in both directions--is the subject of an excellent essay by Philip Ross Bullock in the book accompanying the festival, Jean Sibelius and His World, from Princeton University Press."--Zachary Woolfe, New York Times "As this collection shows, there is a resurgence of interest in the music of Jean Sibelius... [T]he book is full of useful information."--Choice "Jean Sibelius and His World ends with English translations of a number of important primary documents... Perhaps the most important document is Theodor Adorno's critique 'Goss on Sibelius.' I have read about these documents in many Sibelius essays, here and elsewhere, so we owe a debt of gratitude to Daniel Grimley for making them available in translation. This book represents the high level of current Sibelius scholarship and should be a welcome addition to academic music libraries."--Carl Rafikonen, Notes "[T]his is a fine collection of essays that advances Sibelius research significantly. It bears the title Sibelius and his World, but it also does an excellent job of alerting the reader to Sibelius's relevance to our world."--Derek B. Scott, Music and Letters
