Music From the Road. Views and Reviews 1978-1992
Category: Fine Arts: Music
Author: Tim Page
Copyright/published Year: 1992 by Oxford Univ Press
ISBN: 0195073150
Binding: Hardcover
Since his debut, Tim Page has established himself as one of our
most original and perceptive music critics, and one of the very
few to maintain a serious involvement with the music of our own
time. Gathering many of Page's liveliest articles and interviews,
Music from the Road introduces a remarkable critical sensibility
to a wider audience while offering thought-provoking new
perspectives on composers, performers, and trends that dominate
the current scene.
Page covers a characteristically wide range of topics, from
Irving Berlin's complex sweetness to Milton Babbitt's elegant
ferocity, from Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg's wild-woman glamour to
Mitsuko Uchida's infinitely articulated restraint, from Pavarotti
at the Garden to Sweeney Todd in the opera house. Special
highlights are two moving profiles of Leonard Bernstein, a
revealing survey of musical prodigies, a trenchant discussion of
opera fanatics, and Page's famous Piano Quarterly interview with
Glenn Gould. Other interviews offer surprising insights into the
thought and works of Babbitt, John Cage, and, in a remarkable
joint interview, Philip Glass and Steve Reich.
Balancing an intimate knowledge of the music with an eternal
capacity for being surprised, Page is an ideal guide to the new,
the old, and the radically unexpected.
