Review Quotes




Music historians and researchers of Scandinavian music and composers will enjoy the historical information, comparisons between Sibelius and his Scandinavian contemporaries, and discussions of Norse mythology and the folklore of the region. Djupsjöbacka provides a lens into works of Sibelius that may be overlooked in favor of his symphonies and also offers readers insight into his use of words, poetry, and language.-- "NOTES: THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION"
