Glenda Dawn Goss draws on nearly thirty years of correspondence as she examines the zealous promotion of composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) by the conservative New York Times music critic, Olin Downes (1886-1955) and analyzes the process by which an influential critic shapes public musical taste.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"A wide-ranging study of musical criticism in America, this book is more than its modest title suggests. . . . Carefully researched, well-documented, and very readable, this book is important as a cross-cultural look at European and American musical values, as a discussion of reception history, and as a study of Downes and Sibelius individually. A very original work." -- Choice
