The Cambridge Companion to Vaughan Williams

摘要

This wide-ranging examination of the music and life of one of Britain's best-known and most-performed composers is a worthy addition to the scholarly Cambridge Companions series. It bears the hallmarks of others in the series offering not only essays by different contributors, but a full chronology (of life and works) and a useful concise introduction. The index is thorough; the select bibliography reflects the relatively recent scholarship around Vaughan Williams and his works. The editors note that there was little of this until as late as the 1990s.
