(Applause Books). Heres the script to the winner of "Best Off-Broadway Play of 1989" as voted by the Outer Critics Circle. "Funny; serious; suspenseful; involving; disturbing; and above all; expertly crafted...It concerns the intended hostile takeover of a deserving but obsolescent Rhode Island family business; New England Wire and Cable; honorably and not unprofitably run; that provides jobs for an entire small towns population...Epic grandeur and intimate titillation combined. It is the most stimulating kind of entertainment." John Simon; New York magazine

5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful exploration of the topic. very readable!By MatthewTI use this book as a central text in music education courses I teach at the University of Illinois (undergraduate through doctoral). and my students overwhelmingly find it fascinating and readable. The author brings a wealth of primary sources that really convey how sound recording and music making co-evolved over the twentieth century.This spring (2012) I had a chance to read the revised edition with a doctoral seminar. and I was very impressed with the number of refinements. extensions. and additional references. The revised edition reads as though Katz spoke with admirers and critics--some sections students found less convincing in the first edition have been greatly improved. and the best parts are untouched or improved. Given that many second editions today are cranked out simply to allow the publisher an opportunity to cut down on book reselling. a revision this extensive is uncommon and very welcome.There are many wonderful books that deal with sound recording today. and having read many this remains the book I recommend most frequently.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
