Reviews

'This is a beautifully produced book ... full of insights and scholarship of the highest level. There is an extensive bibliography and well compiled index. All who read this publication will have their perspectives of Spanish musical culture in the twentieth century challenged and extended'. Classical Guitar Magazine 'Perhaps this book will spark greater interest in Gerhard, which in turn will lead to more performances and recordings.' American Record Guide ’The publication of this Companion is most welcome. The editors have collated material, in thirteen chapters, arising from two important conferences on his music at the University of Huddersfield in 2010 and in Barcelona in 2012, which captures the research of scholars from Madrid, Texas, and Kansas as well as the UK ...As a whole, this Companion covers a wide range of fine research’. Music and Letters 'The Roberto Gerhard Companion deserves a place on shelves and wide readership.' ARSC
