Magnificent
THE REST IS NOISE is one of the finest books of its kind. Mr. Ross has done a magnificent job, first of research, and then in writing in a clear, informative and entertaining way. I read the book in its entirety, and find myself going back to it from time to time to check on certain references on a particular composer or period. I have given the book as a gift on many occasions and will do so in the future. A truly wonderful achievement.

Fascinating Glimpse of Music in the 20th and 21st Centuries
For anyone one interested in starting to weave together the diverse strands, and sometimes just vague notions about modern music, this is the book to help do that. It is ground breaking in it's refreshing view of music in our time.

Fabulous Book
A wonderful book that explores the music and the personalities of the composers throughout the Twentieth century. Also examines the political and economic forces that influenced music in the twentieth century, from Stalin's Soviet Union to FDR's America to Hitler's Germany. A wonderful interweaving of history and art.
