Reviews for The End of Early Music
Haynes always writes as the insider performer, and his writing is fresh and direct...likely to be enjoyed by most musicians.
David Ledbetter, British Clavichord Society
Bruce's arguments are rich, not obvious, and very convincing. Read Bruce's ideas: applaud, question, be infuriated. But you will never think about early music as you did before.
