Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs and Classical Music
Customer Review: Bitter sweet symphony
With the naked musicians on the front cover and the sub-heading promising sex and drugs i was expecting a rather exciting and thrilling ride into the unknow world of classical music.I got however a book that in somes places just plodded along at a rather painful rate.Like my fellow reviewer said this is no jackie collins.In one chapter( all of 9 pages long)there were 18 different notes/quotes to keep checking back on.At times it felt like revising for a music exam.It’s Well written and does get to the heart of what’s wrong with the world of classical music.To many (including me)it seems like the dream job, but just like the front cover it fails to live up to what it promises.
Customer Review: What Happened To Classical Music In America And Why.
When I first began reading this book I almost put it down after a few chapters. Not that it’s badly written, it isn’t, but the stories of what goes on behind the scenes in the classical music world as experienced by the author didn’t tell me anything that I didn’t already know about life in the arts in general so it came as no big surprise. Then I read Chapter 12 titled appropriately TWILIGHT OF THE GODS and from that point on got the background on what happened to classical music in America and how it went from something once valued as a cultural necessity to becoming a commercial commodity to an ever decreasing audience. As someone who has spent over 20 years in public radio trying to bring classical music to a wider audience, it was eyeopening and depressing to see how it happened from someone on the inside who experienced it firsthand. I won’t go into details here, you’ll have to read the book for that but anyone who loves or cares about classical music in America owes it to themselves to check this book out to see what happened and hopefully what can be done about it. The autobiographical parts are sometimes offputting in their verisimilitude as Tindall doesn’t hesitate to call a spade a spade especially concerning herself but the observations she makes based on experience and solid research cannot easily be dismissed or ignored. Classical music will never hold the place it once did in American society as there are just too many alternatives coupled with poor public education for that to be the case. However after reading this book you’ll be in a much better position to understand why and just what can be done to keep it from disappearing altogether. The situation is bleak but far from hopeless if specific issues can be acknowledged and addressed. Knowledge is power and this book is an excellent place to start. Tindall’s story is like a microcosm of the classical music industry. If she can overcome her problems (she did) then so can it.

Classical Music Encyclopedia
Customer Review: Detailed, but patchy and repetitive
Half the book is spent on music up to the Classical period, meaning there’s a lot dedicated to the Romantics onwards. The different musical periods are covered well, with a historical background to each period, positioning the music within the main events. The layout is good, although I rapidly got lost in amongst the various icons which represent different sections. In each musical period the different musical forms, composers and instruments are considered. Composers are given biographies, with the more famous receiving several pages and less well known just a paragraph.
I found that the style varies wildly, and many pieces of information are repeated in different sections, despite the use of cross-referencing. In some cases information is slightly contradictory, for example JS Bach’s D minor toccata is mentioned as being a good example of his style, but also mentioned as possibly being written by someone else.
Even though it’s entitled a Classical music encyclopedia, I felt that not enough information was given on non-Western music. While recommended recordings are given, there’s no information given on why the particular recordings have been chosen, and for some of the lesser known composers the choices must be extremely limited.
So a lot of good information, nicely presented, but if you’re looking up something specific be prepared to read about subjects on many different pages.
