5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating for both musicians and non-musicians,
By Dr. Robert Grechesky (Indianapolis, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Score: Interviews with Film Composers (Paperback)
I found Michael Schelle's book to be both engaging and fascinating. He manages to "get inside" the composers he interviews, to earn their trust and respect, and to establish a "composer to composer" connection with them. They respond by opening up to him with inside information on the Hollywood music scene that makes for fascinating reading for anyone interested in music and/or film. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: The Score: Interviews with Film Composers (Paperback)
I host a "Film Score Friday" radio program on Public Raido Station, KUAF, and Michael Schelle's book has been a great help, and great inspiration to me. Intelligent, thought-provoking interviews with the best film composers, today. Can't wait for Vol. 2!

This review is from: The Score: Interviews with Film Composers (Paperback)
Michael Schelle's book is an absolute "must have" for anyone interested in film music. He is an established concert composer himself so he knows what to ask. The questions and dialogue are really first rate. This is the sort of interaction one hopes for in any interview book. Michael Schelle really communicates!
