Since his debut over a decade ago, Tim Page has established himself as one of our most original and perceptive music critics, and one of the very few to maintain a serious involvement with the music of our time. Music from the Road offers a thought-provoking collection of his perspectives on a range of composers, performers, and trends that dominate the current music scene. From Irving Berlin's complex sweetness to Milton Babbitt's elegant ferocity, from Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg's wild-woman glamour to Mitsuko Uchida's infinitely articulated restraint, Page covers a characteristically wide range of topics. Special highlights include two moving profiles of Leonard Bernstein, a revealing survey of musical prodigies, a trenchant discussion of opera fanatics, and Page's famous Piano Quarterly interview with Glenn Gould. Other interviews offer insight into John Babbitt, John Cage, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich. Balancing an intimate knowledge of music with an endless capacity for surprise, Music from the Road is an ideal guide for music lovers.
