Reviews

[A]n excellent book, written with energy and economy, deftly combining theoretical and empirical work, and written with the measured confidence of an insider, as well as the critical reflexivity of the apostate. * European Journal of Cultural Studies * Class, Control, and Classical Music is a provocative read, designed to shake complacency and make readers think again about their own formative musical experiences. * Andrew Pinnock, University of Southampton, Cultural Trends *
