Review
"It is probably the best, and certainly the most current, book-length, general survey of the instrument....The chapters make for excellent reading....I highly recommend The Cambridge Companion to the Recorder....The writing is concise and scholarly, providing thoughtful summaries by seven contributors who have spent much of their lives working in recorder research. This, combined with many wonderful illustrations, makes The Cambridge Companion to the Recorder an enjoyable and worthy addition (or beginning) to your music library." Mark Davenport, American Recorder
