Trade Review
"Not without Madness abounds with highly original concepts and insights. Fabrizio Della Seta tackles the subject of meaning in music and opera in an engaging way, responding to a wealth of stimuli not only from the fields of musicology, but also from literature and philosophy. This book stands out as a remarkably dense, exciting, and rewarding read." (Francesco Izzo, University of Southampton)"
