Summary
"Trans-Atlantic Passages : Philip Hale on the Boston Symphony Orchestra, 1889-1933 deals with one of the greatest of American music critics writing about one of the greatest of American Orchestras during a time of great change. Philip Hale (1854-1934) put Boston on the Transatlantic map in terms of the music world and its circuits of exchange. Professor Mitchell reconstructs Hale's oeuvre to produce an authoritative account of Hale's contributions to music criticism and to the role the Boston Symphony was able to play in the international world of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century music"--
