Book Overview
In The Blackwell Guide to Recorded Contemporary Music Brian Morton looks at nearly 150 important musical works written since 1939. In an accessible, non-technical style, he sets each in the context of its specific period and of its composer's career, discussing in each case the best and most authoritative recorded performances and offering hints for further listening and reading. Composers discussed will range from more familiar senior figures like Olivier Messiaen, John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen, to younger figures like George Benjamin, Somei Satioh and Tim Brady. In addition to European and North American artists, there will be essays on works by Asian, African, South American and Australasian composers.
