4.0 out of 5 stars
A better book than "Deep in My Heart.",
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sigmund Romberg (Yale Broadway Masters Series) (Hardcover)
A physically beautiful book. It contains, however, a lot of the author's speculations that parade as truth. The author, William Everett, would state that Romberg did this for this reason or did that for that reason, when really this was only his own figuring. I was often in disagreement. What I did appreciate was how Romberg's music was analyzed and reviewed. The book also includes information on the composer's unsuccessful works, which was interesting. But I got the impression that Everett was trying to put every bit of information possible into the book. I've always felt that it is important to know what to leave out of a book.On the whole, however, it is a good book and will be pleasing to musical theater fans. It is a much better book than Romberg's other book "Deep in My Heart." But not as good as the author's later book, "Rudolf Friml." |
