The Classical Music Map of Britain Bewertungen

"The perfect way to walk in the footsteps of musical genius and hum the greatest tunes, both at the same time." - Simon Bates Fawkes strikes a happy balance between familiar and unfamiliar names, and between metropolitan centres and off-the-beaten-track locations. Fawkes...wears the considerable amount of research on display with a characteristic lightness of touch. --Michael Quinn - Classical Music Magazine Britain is littered with obscure musical landmarks that, thanks to this innovative little book, need be unheralded no longer. --Kate Green - Country Life Magazine
