'Hugh Benham has given us a fresh and incisive guide to Baroque music, admirably combining breadth of coverage with plenty of detailed comment on the music. Valuable for students, performers and listeners.' Jane Booth, Head of Historical Performance, Guildhall School of Music and Drama 'This is an admirably clear and concise glimpse into the Baroque period. As ever, Hugh Benham stylishly mixes historical information with listening examples and practical music-making suggestions. This is a book that will not help just students, but should get anybody interested in listening to - and performing - Baroque music.' Jonathan Wikeley, Editor, Early Music Today
