C Flat,
By Patricia T. (Indiana, originally) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henry Purcell (Hardcover)
This book has many illustrations and bounteous historical context. However much I enjoyed the historical background, Purcell himself appears too infrequently and always as a nebulous figure. Sometimes the subject of the book appears to be the monarchy with Purcell as a grace note. There is no insight into the composer and we have no real portrait of him except as a catalogue of his music.I was disappointed that the subject never truly made an appearance and I have no greater understanding of this extraordinary composer. |
