The Cambridge Companion to the Recorder (Cambridge Companions to Music)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... an enjoyable and worthy addition (or beginning) to your music library.' American Recorder
'... will undoubtedly become the standard text for recorder players for years to come ... I would guess that even professional players will find things here that are new to them.' Early Music Today
'... an excellent starting point for those new to the instrument or amateurs with playing experience who wish to broaden their knowledge. Such readers will come away with a better understanding of the recorder's very rich life through the centuries as well as a good idea of the astonishing amount of writing and research of the last four or five decades.' Notes
Book Description
This is the first book to offer a complete introduction to the recorder. Eight contributors from four different countries write on topics such as the recorder and its music through the centuries, the recorder as orchestral instrument, the professional recorder player through history and today, and the phenomenon of the recorder revival. The Companion also contains basic reference material previously unavailable in one volume. A special feature is the rich collection of illustrations that provide a history of the instrument. The Cambridge Companion to the Recorder will be of interest to performers and students as well as to music enthusiasts.
