Book Reviews of Harrison Birtwistle: Man, Mind, Music
Book Review: A handy map through the Birtwistle labryth
Summary: 4 Stars
This book successfully examines the various strands at work in the music of Birtwistle, and strikes a good balance between musical analysis (which is pretty in depth) and readability. This book is very much about the music, so dont expect much in the way of biography or Birtwistle's sometimes controversial quotes, but it has certainly aided my appreciation of this fascinating composer.
