The Musical Heritage Review - Archive

The Review began over 50 years ago - as the owner took up a customer on a challenge - why not offer better insights into the history and most interesting aspect of the music - why not take us on a journey of Exploring Music? And so David M. Greene, from his home in Pennsylvania wrote dozens of articles a month and created The Musical Heritage Review.

Now we are putting archival copies of The Review up for old times' sake! Want to know what classical music writers were complaining about in 1978?
