A century of recording has fundamentally changed our experience of music--the way we listen to it and the way it is performed. This highly engaging book is the first thorough exploration of the impact of recording technology upon the art of music. Timothy Day chronicles the developments in recording technology since its inception and describes the powerful effects it has had on artistic performance, audience participation, and listening habits. He compares the characteristics of musical life one hundred years ago--before the phonograph--to those of today and offers a fascinating analysis of how performing practices, images of performers, the work of composers, and performance choices in concert halls and opera houses have changed. The book investigates the work of such great recording engineer-impresarios as Fred Gaisberg and Walter Legge; the recording history of conductors, orchestras, and soloists throughout the century; and the development of the great classical recording labels. Day also addresses a variety of questions raised by the study of recordings: What have people expected of a recorded performance? Do recordings constitute an art form in their own right? What is historical authenticity? What is moral authenticity? Are recordings that endow incompetent artists with flawless techniques somehow fraudulent? Why do artists re-record repertoire? This book will inform and engage a wide range of readers, from those who love music and recordings to performers and scholars and all readers with an interest in the social and artistic history of the twentieth century.

So I read Mr. Day's book with a thrill of recognition. He delves deep into subjects that I only had sketchy knowledge of, but now realize that I had always wanted to know more about. This is a pioneering volume that opens avenues that others will surely explore. Work is already being done in some areas of popular music - there is considerable scholarship on the Beatles in the studio, for example. But we need more on jazz recording, recording of folk and world music in the field, spoken word recording (Shakespeare recordings are a particular passion of mine). Archives happily exist, but much more research in them needs to be undertaken. ( )
