Reviews

[Andrew]

Useful so long as you ignore it when they recommend British conductors (they vastly overrate them) or slag off Bernstein (they pretty much consistently don't care for him). Unfortunately, over half the reviewed recordings in the book fall under these two categories. Oh, and they really like Karajan.
