The Life and Music of Bela Bartok by Halsey Stevens
Issued in a revised edition in 1964, Stevens' work now appears in a third edition, prepared by the Bartok scholar, Malcolm Gillies. A comprehensive chronological list of works is added, together with a select bibliography and discography.
`one significant catalyst.. was surely the appearance in 1953 of the first comprehensive survey of his life and work by the American composer, Halsey Stevens. Stevens's major virtues in conveying his admiration for Bartok are his clarity and concision. ... his biography encompasses all the essentials and is graphic on the last, difficult American years. ... the analytic comments, ... are always apt. Which are just some of the reasons why this third edition, prepared by Malcolm Gillies, remains after 40 years about the best way into a formidable and fascinating output.' Bayan Northcott, BBC Music Magazine
