List Of Chief Music Critics
Western classical music has a substantial history of music criticism, and many individuals have established careers as music critics. However, concert reviews are not always credited in the daily and weekly newspapers, especially those in the early to mid-20th century. This selective list of chief music critics (or equivalent title, influence or status) aims to make it easier to find the likely author of a review, or at least the influence of the chief music critic on what was covered and how. Journalistic newspaper criticism of Western music did not properly emerge until the 1840s. Before then, in England, Joseph Addison had contributed essays on music to ''The Spectator'' in Handel's era. Former opera impresario Willian Ayrton began writing occasional musical criticism for ''The Morning Chronicle'' (1813–26) and '' The Examiner'' (1837–51) and founded the monthly music journal ''The Harmonicon'' in 1823. Arts and literary magazines such as '' The Athenæum'' (and its criti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
