| BANKS, PAUL, ED. The Making of Peter Grimes: Notes and Commentaries Rochester, New York, U.S.A. Boydell & Brewer Inc. 2000. (ISBN: 0851157912) . 251 pp. Numerous illustrations. 4to, quality paperback. Rear corner crease to cover, else a very good, clean copy. The premiere of Peter Grimes on 7 June 1945 announced the emergence of the first great composer of opera in English since Purcell. Surviving documents offer evidence of the complex interaction of differing ideas about the possible shape and content of the new work, most notably the composition draft, which these essays are particularly concerned to illuminate. They juxtapose historic material with fresh studies: three items written by members of the team involved in the 1945 production are set alongside specially-commissioned articles, with the three-fold intention of presenting the views of some of the creators of the opera, outlining the work's early history, and offering contemporary perspectives on its historical context and its message.
