Inhoud:

Using contemporary concert programmes and newspaper reviews, this book questions the widely accepted notion that the period surrounding the turn of the nineteenth century marked a 'dark age' for the history of musical performance in London. Taylor illustrates that the Philharmonic Society built on the growing interest in orchestral music.
