"...Cairns, for many years the chief music critic of The Sunday Times in London, tells the story with sober elegance and uncommon sympathy. He is a marvelous guide to the musical life and aesthetic arguments of 19th-century Europe and shows Berlioz as a man of his times. But he also brings Berlioz close to us. He shares his enthusiasm for the music and makes it luminously accessible to nonmusicians."Cairns, David is the author of 'Berlioz Servitude and Greatness' with ISBN 9780520222007 and ISBN 0520222008.
