Media Reviews
"IRVING BERLIN conveys hardly any personal flavor of the man, but it is valuable as an official show-by-show, movie-by-movie, song-by-song account of Berlin's career. Every show and movie on which he worked is described and dissected, and every major song noted." -- Stephen Holden
-- New York Times

Publisher's Notes
Berlin published his first song in 1911. A prolific combination of genius and schmaltz, he would go on to compose some of the most popular songs--"White Christmas," "Easter Parade," "God Bless America"--and stage and screen musicals--THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS, TOP HAT, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN--of all time. With the some contagious enthusiasm and musicological insight that made his Gershwin the definitive biography, Edward Jablonski explains how Irving Berlin became the personification of American musical theater.

Tchaikovsky Through Others' Eyes
by
Here are views of Tchaikovsky by a wide range of his contemporaries - from all periods of his life. In letters, diaries, and interviews, they speak of little-known facets of the composer's life: foibles and manners, politics and tastes, prejudices and preferences (sexual and otherwise). Friends, relatives, musicians, journalists, and state officials show us both the public and the private figure: the student at the School of Jurisprudence, the conductor, the professor at the Conservatory, the philanthropist and promoter of talent, the loving brother and uncle, the intrepid traveler, and the man who impressed a range of people - from servants to members of the Russian Imperial family.
Mozart
by Robert W. Gutman
This major work places Mozart's life and music in the context of the intellectual, political, and artistic currents of eighteenth-century Europe. Even as he delves into philosophic and aesthetic questions, Robert Gutman keeps in sight, clearly and firmly, the composer and his works. He discusses the major genres in which Mozart worked-chamber music; liturgical, theater, and keyboard compositions; concerto; symphony; opera; and oratorio. All of these riches unfold within the framework of the composer's brief but remarkable life. With Gutman's informed and sensitive handling, Mozart emerges in a light more luminous than in previous renderings. The composer was an affectionate and generous man to family and friends, self-deprecating, witty, winsome, but also an austere moralist, incisive and purposeful. Mozart is both an extraordinary portrait of a man in his time and a brilliant distillation of musical thought.
