ORCHESTRAL MUSIC: An Armchair Guide

by Lawrence Gilman ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 6, 1951

These are the notes and annotations kept over many years by the late music critic of the New York Herald Tribune who was also the program annotator for the New York Philharmonic Symphony and the Philadelphia Orchestral Association. Edited and enlarged upon by Edward Cushing, the notes and comments that comprise this volume are among the est in print for the lay music lover who is often confused by the too liberal technicality of most program annotations. Arranged alphabetically by composer, and indexed, this should prove popular with concert regulars and valuable to read-while listening at home.
