"Cairns, for many years the chief music critic of the Sunday Times in London, tells the story with sober elegance and uncommon sympathy. He is a marvelous guide to the musical life and aesthetic arguments of 19th century Europe and shows Berlioz as a man of his times. But he also brings Berlioz close to us." --New York Times Book Review, as quoted on the back cover.
