Book Reviews of Virgil Fox (The Dish), Special Edition (Book/CD/DVD)
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Virgil Fox deserves a better portrait than this. He had a positive impact on the music scene and popularized the organ as no one since E. Power Biggs. His playing was controversial, of course, but always musical on its own terms. This book is written in a gushing tone that grows frustrating. As you turn the pages you begin to wish the author had not chosen to relate his acquaintance with Fox through a succession of amusing anecdotes; the "look what he's done now!" approach loses its effect quickly. If you took out half of the exclamation marks, the book would be fifty pages shorter. Skip this one and hope a better book appears soon
