Book Reviews of Yma Sumac: The Art Behind the Legend
Book Review: Outstanding Biography
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Limansky has done a tremendous amount of research on the evasive Yma Sumac, to put together this outstanding biography. His book is certainly not a whitewashed account, & permits the reader to gain good insight into Ms. Sumac's personality & the background to many of her recordings. Loaded with rare photos, many candid. Considering Mr. Limanky's vast knowledge of Ms. Sumac & her recordings, & his highly insightful comments, I cannot imagine that a better biography of her will ever be written. My only complaint (& it is minor compared with the strong points of this book) is that the wonderful photos are often small & that the (non-glossy) paper of the book doesn't permit sharper reproductions. Fortunately, the photos in the book are available on a separate CD (for additional cost), along with additional material, which I'll be ordering.
