Setting The Record Straight

"In this study of the materials surrounding LPs and CDs, Colin Symes undertakes a cultural history of the record, looking specifically at the way the phonograph helped democratize classical music by enabling it to be heard at home, away from the concert hall. Symes argues that the listening habits associated with classical records and recording were produced and naturalized through a magazine culture, which conveyed the idea that collecting and listening to records were legitimate pastimes. Symes's pathbreaking history will engage anyone with an interest in classical music and recording."--Jacket.
