Reviews
'Tunley makes a unique contribution by investigating the only hard evidence (outside of private diaries) about the music performed at these salons and the singers who sang them: articles in music journals. ... appendixes provide a fascinating variety of pertinent material.' Choice '... a handy way by which to get a glimpse at this important area of French cultural life from a healthily broad aesthetic perspective.' H-France Reviews 'This is an excellent background guide to French song with efficient footnotes and appendices...' The Singer '... this book offers essential historical, social, and aesthetic context for understanding that elegant and musically enthusiastic period... enhances our understanding of a vital milieu and its vocal music. David Tunley deserves thanks for his advocacy of this overlooked domain, and Ashgate earns accolades for championing French music.' Notes '... crammed with scholarly erudition and the result of enormous and painstaking research. It is an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to enquire into this aspect of French musicology, since the excellent bibliography is invaluable.' Nineteenth-Century Music Review
