| Abstract | Tanglewood, of course, is the summer music festival that the Boston Symphony Orchestra has presented annually in western Massachusetts since 1938. More than a concert series, it also encompasses the Tanglewood Music Center, an educational wing whose students, many now of international stature, have been trained by those who already have attained that rank. Pincus--the region's music critic--is generally objective enough in his documentation of political and other nonmusical factors. More importantly, he considers musical matters in a most knowing manner, turning vignettes of personalities, performances, and repertoire into an important history. The value of his work is intensified by the insight offered in individual portraits, making it most interesting reading for even the casual music lover. |
