Reviews for Alban Berg and His World
"Hailey's introductory chapter is remarkable for the amount of evocative and trenchant detail he has managed to offer in a small space; it may well be the best writing about this milieu since Carl Schorske's Fin-de-Siecle Vienna thirty years ago... It is an unexpected delight that a real portrait emerges in this volume."
