Mimi Ezust:

>One of my favorites music critics of the past was Michael Steinberg, and we
>were lucky to have him living in Boston for many years.  He knew his music,
>obviously loved it, could tell us in vivid detail about the concert he was

Steinberg's two collections of amplified program notes (The Symphony,
The Concerto) are wonderful. His essay on Berg's Violin Concerto alone
is worth the price of admission.
