Reviews
Palazzetti takes up [an] important and ground-breaking study of Bartok in Italy. [...]. Exploring the roots of [Bartok's] canonization - the myth-making referred to in the book's subtitle - and its multiple political purposes, Palazzetti follows the trajectory of the composer's experiences and the popularity of his music before, during and after the fascist ventennio. [...]. The meticulously researched list of performances of Bartok's music from the very first, in 1911, to the end of 1950 is an invaluable resource, and reveals how often some of the most demanding works were played. [...]. The situation is one of condensed complexity, and Palazzetti is an excellent guide through its tangled paths. -- Kenneth Chalmers * OPERA * True to the ethos of contemporary musicology, Palazzetti worries away at the parallelisms between the work of composers and the lives lived within cultures [...]. The very particular specifics of Palazzetti's material, so thoroughly researched and referenced in this book, raise many resonances, already debated by [...] Bartok scholars [...], as well as authors concentrating on Cold War cultural studies. -- Arnold Whittall * THE MUSICAL TIMES *
