"A masterful and elegantly written history of the symphony and symphonic repertory throughout the Americas, from the colonial period to the present, in Spanish-, Portuguese-, and English-speaking countries, including coverage of the symphony in Canada. Volume editor Brian Hart and his group of leading experts give a comprehensive treatment of the genre showing how composers from throughout the western hemisphere have put their own individual stamp on the form over the centuries. The Symphony in the Americas is an outstanding achievement and a magnificent addition to the late A. Peter Brown's multi-volume series The Symphonic Repertoire."-John Koegel, author of Music in German Immigrant Theater
