"To be presented with eighteen studies on Russian and Soviet music that avoid dramatic or romanticised language brings great hope for the future of the field. Frolova-Walker and Zuk are to be congratulated on the quality, detail, and accessibility of their volume, which marks a milestone in Russian and Soviet music studies, an area for which appraisal and reappraisal has been long overdue." - Madeline Roycroft, Context

"The aim of this ambitious book is to reassess the critical reception of Russian music over the last century...The editors deserve praise for producing a book of both professional and amateur interest, which is rich in details of fact and ideas, and should be welcomed by musicians, musicologists and enterprising music lovers alike." - Arnold McMillin, Slavonic and East European Studies

"Zuk and Frolova-Walker have provided a valuable resource for scholars and educators. Their diverse selection of essays has something for everyone, specialist and non-specialist alike. While tone, approach, and quality vary, this volume will surely have staying power as a wide-ranging collection of contemporary work in Russian music studies and a portrait of this important transitional moment in the field." - Leah Goldman, The Russian Review
