"This is a handsome book and it makes a fine coffee-table present for any music and piano lover" John Amis - broadcaster, music presenter, performer and the 'symphony man' in the long-running radio show, 'My Music'. "This book is a landmark in music."Alan Hacker, OBE - one of the world's top clarinettist's. "This is the best book I have read (or heard) on the subject and recommend it highly." Rick Ohlendorf, Piano Tuners Association News "After reading Company of Pianos, I found myself playing Beethoven with a heightened awareness ... and for that alone I am grateful." Angela Hewitt, Times Literary Supplement "Anecdotal, wryly humorous and authoritative ...the text of the Company of Pianos by itself would be an essential purchase for pianophiles. But the standard to which the book has been produced is something else." Jeremy Nicholas, Piano International "The author takes us on a social and historical journey that is entertaining, witty, lucid and informed, but never dull or pedantic. A delight to the mind, the ears and the eyes. The Company of Pianos is good company indeed." Southern California Early Music Society "Every music school, serious pianist, library and early-music enthusiast should have this wonderful volume." Paul James Dwyer, Opus Magazine "... No music lovers, be they pianists, listeners or historians can afford to be without this fascinating and enlightening book." Charlotte Ellis, Newsletter of the Dolmetch Foundation
