In this book - the only full-length study of the composer - the author provides a richly documented account of Bruch's career as music director and composer.

Christopher Fifield

The return of Fifield's excellent biography to the ranks of books in print is very welcome indeed. H-NET REVIEWSBruch deserves a full-scale study and this is what he and his music gets...This is the work on Bruch but its merit lies not only in being the only book but in the detail, pacing and presentation of Bruch's life. The humanising communicative faculty that Mr Fifield brings to bear lifts the book from mere gap-filling as does its evident determination to lift Bruch from the slough of one-work composers. In all these ways the book and its author bears the laurels of victory. MUSIC WEB INTERNATIONAL Richly documented account of Bruch's career. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
