From Library Journal
Gradenwitz, who has written works on Bernstein, Mahler, and Schoenberg, wrote the first edition of this important title in 1949. This new edition contains nearly 50 years of updating, in terms both of historical events and new scholarship. Each chapter has been revised, and the sections on Mahler and Schoenberg have been completely rewritten. Also, new chapters on music and musicians in Terezi'n and other Nazi concentration camps and on modern Israeli composers have been added. A companion to Irene Heskes's Passport to Jewish Music (Greenwood, 1992), this belongs in all libraries that own the first edition and in large music collections that missed it originally.?Bonnie Jo Dopp, Univ. of Maryland Lib., College Park, Md.
