The Heart of All Music

"The poems in this book translate the author's experience of listening to music into words. They focus on performances of a wide variety of types of music and their effect on the listener's imagination. They embrace composers and performers ranging from instrumental soloists and singers to small groups and orchestras, and from classics like Mozart and Bartok to living composers and stars such as these: Sofia Gubaidulina and John Adams to Anne Sophie von Otter to John Hammond to Steven Pagen."--
