<br> Blazes innovative trails for scholars in several areas...Johnson finds the perfect balance between specificity and generality, making this book useful to anyone interested in learning more bout Mahler, musical narrative, or both. --Notes<p><br>

Johnson's rich and provocative study ... serves not only as a welcome antidote but also as an open invitation to a renewed engagement with this all-too-familiar music in terms of what Johnson hears as its multi-vocal character. ...Mahler's Voices stands as an impressively multi-vocal book in which a wide array of conflicting views are allowed to coexist. Held together by Julian Johnson's strong authorial voice, it serves as a call to performers, critics, and listeners who have been reluctant to address the broader implications of Mahler's many voices. Thomas Peattie, Music & Letters
