Book Synopsis
“A splendid read, at once disturbing and illuminating.”—Gramophone

Trade Review
"This formidable book... shows how American classical music became a 'performance culture,' an ersatz-European showplace for celebrity virtuosos, rather than a native-born genre." The New Yorker "As a comprehensive, convincing analysis of the contemporary dilemma... and a riveting portrait of the century and a half of events and personalities which brought it about, Mr Horowitz's account would be hard to beat." The Economist "...Horowitz's important and in many ways provocative new book..." David Nicholls, The Times Literary Supplement"
