Reviews

The Don Giovanni Moment is the book for readers who have had enough of the discussion of who Mozart really was, and who want to understand the music's impact on the intellect and, more widely, its influence on Western culture. -- Alex Ross, New Yorker [This] new volume enriches the flourishing field of opera studies both within and beyond German studies. -- Kevin S. Amidon, German Studies Review One marvels at how Don Giovanni ranges over the thought and culture of the nineteenth century and its aftermath... [and] applauds the editors. -- Edmund J. Goehring, Current Musicology
