This 1991 book presents detailed discussion by well-known critics and writers of every recording of selected major choral works.
"...record collectors, researchers, and others interested in this music will want access to this publication." Library Journal "This treasury of history, record listings and opinion is ideal for experienced collectors who have grown up with many of the recordings discussed here. And, as they read about them, they will recall jacket covers and emotions from past years. New collectors will also benefit tremendously from the affection lavished on the music and find much more in an educated sense than in books devoted purely to program note-like discussions." Los Angeles Reader "Alan Blyth's surveys of recorded literature have become indispensable overviews of major works...This is a valuable reference and will surely be consulted as often as Blyth's earlier guides." American Record Guide
