Mr. MacDonald is well know for his involvment in Berlioz academia, however, I find him very opinonated in how the works are presented, i.e. the Te Deum and his addition to Les Troyens, an extention which I found added little to the opera. It is highly unlikely that he can take liberties with the letters, but what he chooses to include and exclude is relavent. Based on my observation of Mr. MacDonald, these choices may be questionable. Also, my observation of Berlioz acadmeia, Mr. MacDonald is the man in charge, but not the most talented of the group. The book, if it has new material, would be of intrest to Berlioz scholars. As a general selection, I would advise looking at content.
