About this title

Review:

'A valuable, detail-packed, vade mecum to a body of work we are forgetting to our loss.' Gramophone

'... a very good introduction to those who want to get simply acquainted or even better acquainted with Tippett as a man and composer.' Cercles

'If The Cambridge Companion to Michael Tippett communicates the state of research on the composer, that is not its only valuable feature. One of the greatest strengths of the volume is in its copious, extended music examples, which are sufficiently intriguing on the page that they do some of the work of advocacy by sending readers to the piano or to recordings of less-familiar works ... the volume contains a wealth of illustrations, most of them analytical in nature and focused on the large-scale structure of works.' Kevin Salfen, Notes

Book Description:

This Companion provides a wide ranging and accessible study of one of the most individual composers of the twentieth century. A team of international scholars shed new light on Tippett's major works and draw attention to those that have not yet received the attention they deserve.
