The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 2nd edition Reviews
"There was no more important reference publishing event in 2001 than the release of the second edition of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, the definitive music reference source, in both print and online versions." — Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin "Publication of New Grove II should be occasion for rejoicing…. Its reputation for preeminence among English-language music encyclopedias continues undimmed with this edition… [Recommended for] all academic libraries." — D. Ossenkop, Choice "Either form of this dictionary provides a useful tool for music educators and their students." — Music Educators Journal "Libraries that relied on the first New Grove should welcome its superior print successor." — Bonnie Jo Dopp, Library Journal (Starred Review) "As the new online version of a major reference work for music, The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians on the web is an important tool for anyone doing music research." — Constance A. Mayer, Library Journal "The New Grove II…complete with an online version, continues a long and impressive history…. Grove should be commended for producing this online resource…. But whatever its form, this is a musical source for all people and all times." — Christine Bulson, Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin (Starred Review) "In short, The New Grove II is a masterpiece." — Richard Morrison, The Times (London) "The be sure, New Grove II continues to uphold the tradition associated with the world's leading musical reference source...serving all who have an interest in music—with scholarly accuracy, authority and thoroughness. "New Grove Online promises to become the most reliable and comprehensive music site on the web." — John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune "...having this dictionary at your fingertips is quite a kick." — Thane Peterson, Business Week Online "For music lovers, the New Grove dictionary is Wisden, Britannica and the Bible rolled into one." — Charlotte Higgins, The Guardian "Ask a musical question, however arcane, and the odds are that you will find it in Grove, the Delphic oracle of music scholarship...by far the most comprehensive music site on the web...and some of the search facilities here are, frankly, magical." — Michael Wright, The Sunday Times (London) "...it is a vital tool to anyone remotely interested in music, and remains what it has always been, the first place to look." — Philip Hensher, The Spectator "...while it remains exhaustive on Western art music it's now the top contender on world music, and has spread its net—or let down its hair—to encompass more popular spheres." — Michael Church, The Independent
