This is the most beautiful and essential book on music I have ever seen! Perfectly accessible to the music-lover as well as the music-maker, this is a book that everyone seriously interested in music should read. David and Carol Reck have done a stunning job of tackling an ambitious subject: the charting of “an exquisitely beautiful and relatively unexplored country: the musical landscape of the whole earth.” And this book comes at a most urgent time: traditional musics of the world rank high on the list of endangered species. They too, once gone, will never reappear.
[Peter Garland, The Next Whole Earth Catalog p.481]
