Conrad Wilson, author and music critic of "The Scotsman", has brought a lively style as well as writing hundreds of new articles and extensions to old ones. Equally important has been his gathering together of experts in such fields as medieval music and jazz, who have filled the gaps which have appeared since publication of the first edition.".
