'From the perspective of research, this book will be remembered as one of the first comprehensive studies on the recorded performance. By focusing on several major works by Bach in the 30-year period immediately after the World War II, she succeeded in telling us fascinating stories from both performers and scholars of what they considered important, their mistakes and achievements, leaving lots of food for thoughts on what we may achieve in the future.' www.music.qub.ac.uk '... the author is perceptive and widely informed and her analyses and conclusions are incisive and relevant... A detailed and fascinating look at one of the most interesting periods in the history of music which answers as well as raises a number of interesting questions.' MusicWeb '... Fabian's book is excellent; many could learn from it immensely. So much so that it could be the textbook for any course on the history of Auffuhrungspraxis. The attached CD provides a clever selection of audio illustrations to the text; the exceptionally broadly based bibliography at the end of the book can serve as a handy reference for anybody. The monograph should be part of every decent library.' Translated from Magyar Zene
