Reviews

'... a fine example of setting a composer into his environment... a notable achievement.' Early Music Review '... this is an important book, rich in information and detail. It is essential reading for all those with an interest in the music of Seicento Naples.' Renaissance Quarterly '... a significant addition to the literature. Given his deep knowledge and long familiarity with the sources of the history of music in Naples, Fabris was certainly the right person for the task... Fabris's book is the most up to date and complete account of the activity of such a prominent and influential musician as Francesco Provenzale, and it also presents the first overview of the splendid musical activity and production in seventeenth-century Naples. it is certan that this volume will give new impulse to the study of a crucial century in the history of Neapolitan music.'
