Reviews for The End of Early Music: A Period Performer's History of Music for the Twenty-First Century

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. Clifford Bartlett, Early Music Review
