Industry Reviews "...[It] may be recommended warmly to music lovers on all levels of interest and expertise....The writing is wonderfully clear, personal, and specific." Washington Post Book World - Tim Page (08/11/1996)
"Michael Steinberg is one of the very few writers who can really bring a listener close to the music. He not only knows what he is talking about--and eminently so--but finds the most elegant, striking, and often surprising ways of saying it. He is a true artist who uses words, instead of bows or fingers, to articulate what he has found in the music. He is the composer's and interpreter's unfailing ally, and the listener's devoted friend. His love of music is contagious.". Blomstedt.
"Michael Steinberg represents the gold standard of music criticism. His is a mind of immense subtlety and learning that expresses itself with generosity, humor, accessibility, and a noticeable absence of pomposity. This is a book of 1001 pleasures." Adams
