Review:
'Emerson's biography seamlessly combines imaginative and reliable scholarship.' The Times Literary Supplement
' ... if you want serious reflection and food for thought in what is far more than a mere chronicle, then Emerson is a historically reliable, aesthetically curious companion.' David Nice BBC Music Magazine
'Emerson manages to flesh out the man's character and to offer plausible theories as to the reasons for Musorgsky's decline.' The Musical Times
