The delight sings loudly off the page ... [Holloway] is fascinated by musical lineage and is a meticulous tracer and charter of influence , throwing cables across centuries and pulling seemingly disparate figures suddenly near. Irreverent , outspoken and unfailingly opinionated, with knowledge as broad as his vocabulary, [he[ offers an unofficial alternative account [of the history of Western music]; 'an enthusiast's record of delighted discoveries'; and a playful compendium ... alongside close listening and biographical fragments. Saying the unsayable is a repeated theme .... he wrestles with the toughest of repertoire and wins . -- Alexandra Coghlan * Spectator *
