Reviews

  • This edited volume is an academic goldmine of enlightening analysis of nomenclature which effortlessly connects such disparate topics as drama and music at the BBC during the 1920s, Norman Corwin and Bernard Herrmann for CBS during the Golden age of U.S. Radio, and even the sound art radiophonic compositions of Daphne Oram. The scholarship is brilliant. The writing powerful, illuminating, and thought-provoking. The examination of the historical practice is transnational and transcultural, and features original contribution knowledge from early career researchers and leading professors in their field. This book makes a coherent and lasting contribution to understanding the cultural studies of radio and music in the 20th century.

    Tim Crook, Goldsmiths, University of London

  • This book is a first-rate interdisciplinary study mapping a series of key historical intersections between music and radio art. Detailed in its analysis, international in its scope, and rich in its intellectual depth, Radio Art and Music: Culture, Aesthetics, Politics is an outstanding addition to the current renaissance in radio scholarship, and will prove rewarding to scholars of sound studies more broadly

    Neil Verma, Northwestern University
