‘ ... by some distance the best single-volume reference I have ever encountered ... there is enough of Paul’s own wit in the book to make it a bedside-reading delight.’ (Alan Rich, L.A. Weekly)
‘This is a remarkable feat. Griffiths writes perceptively and accessibly about the language of music, composers and conductors, as well as giving thumbnail sketches of important ballets and operas . . . He also includes entries on performers, musically involved writers, musical cities, countries and periods for good measure, all succinctly and stylishly explained. Concision poses no strain for him, even if, as any musicologist knows, it is far harder to capture the essence of Mozart in four rather than forty pages, and Griffiths does so without resort to familiar clichés, with an approach that remains fresh throughout.’ (Robert Orledge, Times Literary Supplement)
‘ . . . belongs in every musician’s library.’ (Joseph Kerman, New York Review of Books)
