5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST, February 4, 2009
By 
Michael Eglin (Near lots of water) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Music in Western Civilization (Hardcover)
This is the most comprehensive and engaging history of music ever written. It is a shame that the likes of Stolba and Wright & Simms are being foisted upon unsuspecting undergraduate apprentices of music history in academies all over the U.S. These "histories" are overpriced and simpleton both in their writing and scope.

Lang is a superb writer, a connoisseur of history, art, literature, politics, culture, AND music.

This work is a MUST for any serious student/lover of music and music history.
