Saturday Afternoons at the Old Met: The Metropolitan Opera Broadcasts, 1931-1950 (Amadeus) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Even glacing through this superbly written volume will whet the appetite to sample the riches Prof Jackson discusses in this thick volume. This is not a pedantic dissection of broadcast after broadcast. Prof Jackson flows from one to another (not always in chronological order) with ease and smoothness. His history of how the Met broadcasts began and the evolving politics over the ensuing seasons makes for fascinating reading.
