New Aldeburgh Anthology by Ariane Bankes
A book for those drawn back to Aldeburgh year after year for the music, writing and arts - and to all who care for the landscape, the sea and the ongoing life of the Suffolk Coast.
The felicities of this anthology are many, with many a precious insight into their subjectsThere is charm, wit, melancholy scientific inquiry, musical and psychological interpretation. [...] Even its presentation - the look and feel of the book - is impressive. I cannot praise it enough. * AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE *
A magisterial companion to the festival and its setting. [...] More than 375 splendid pages confirm how much the annual festival of arts and music owes to the landscape and the sea and to the history of local creativity. * EASTERN DAILY PRESS *
A fascinating dip-in read and a source book for those wishing to trace the cultural history of the festival. * RA (Royal Academy of Arts Magazine) *
[A] handsome and valuable volume...The long-term survival and eventual rejuvenation of Aldeburgh as a musical nerve centre post-Britten has...been a triumph of creativity over adversity and this anthology gradually and magically tells exactly how and why. * GRAMOPHONE *
Highly enjoyable reading... * EASTERN DAILY PRESS *
