Su questo libro

Recensione:

'A hugely ambitious enterprise ..., its journalistic boldness, scope and energy make for stimulating reading ... Lebrecht is also often brilliantly acute on the personalities stalking the corridor of power from dressing room to boardroom. ... Lebrecht states the case with all the invigorating conviction that is his hallmark'
DAILY TELEGRAPH
'What a good read ... Whoever succeeds Michael Kaiser, their first task should be to read this book. Or perhaps not. They might turn tail and flee the country'
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
'Norman Lebrecht's history of Covent Garden, in which I figure, is rich in the qualities we expect from his DAILY TELEGRAPH column; it is vigorous, sometimes slapdash, opinionated. Interested more in money than music, and in gossip than scholarship, Lebrecht offers an entertaining read'
Jeremy Isaacs, JEWISH CHRONICLE
'Punchily provocative, enjoyable and well-written'
DAILY TELEGRAPH
'A lively, opinionated and talkative participant to any debate, Norman is refreshingly honest and candid about all subjects relevant to today's news stories'
BOLTON EVENING NEWS
