add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Olin Downes on Music," edited by Howard Taubman. This book is a collection of what are offered as some of the best of Downes's writing between 1906 and 1955 and are considered worthy of permanence as a historical record of the period, as examples of excellence in critical writing, and thus as evidence of a talk well done. The collection is made valueless and unreadable as a record by the quality of the taste, mind and prose style of the man who for thirty-one of those years spoke for the newspaper "The New York Times" on music.
