Reviews

Robert Sholl:
‘Schloesser's work is an exemplar for musicologists of a passionate interdisciplinary navigation through a historical puzzle: the politicization of modern art through Christian renewal. As such it is an invaluable narrative and pre-history for scholars of twentieth century French music.’
