'Hischak has produced a comprehensive resource describing the lives, work and--most important--influence of the songwriting team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein....Although numerous reference publications have recently been published....[m]most are broader in scope, and none highlights the creators' impact, as Hischak's book does. It belongs in institutions offering degrees in music as well wel public libraries serving a patron base with an interest in the American arts.'-Library Journal, "Well-organized and informative work. Contains an A-Z listing of almost 600 entries on Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein (R&H) comprising all the stage, film, and television projects; various performers, songwriters, librettists, and other artists who worked with either man….[T]his volume does provide a compendium of information to the creative work represented by R&H. A required acquisition for performing arts collections." - College and Research Libraries, "Hischak has produced a comprehensive resource describing the lives, work and--most important--influence of the songwriting team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein….Although numerous reference publications have recently been published….[m]most are broader in scope, and none highlights the creators' impact, as Hischak's book does. It belongs in institutions offering degrees in music as well as public libraries serving a patron base with an interest in the American arts." - Library Journal, "This volume has two overall goals. The first is to highlight the rich body of work produced by the combined creative forces of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, from their first major work, Oklahoma! (1943), until Rodgers' death, in 1960. The second is to glimpse the career of each artist independently. The author accomplishes both goals in a straightforward volume that features listings for songs, musicals, films, performers, lyricists, producers, and other categories, providing a complete look at the output and importance of the team in the worlds of musical theater and film….[r]ecommended for academic and large public library collections." - Booklist, "Well-organized and informative work.

The work is easy to use, being alphabetically arranged with cross-reference listings, chronological lists, lists of awards and recordings, and bibliographic information for further reading." - Reference Reviews, "The amazingly productive Hischak, author/editor of 15 theater books to date, turns his attention to two giants of the American musical theater in a work that more aptly should be titled The Rodgers and Hammerstein and Kern and Hart et al. Encyclopedia, in that this volume is not limited to shows and films written by the title duo but also encompasses those of their collaborators. The alphabetically arranged, brief entries (100-300 words, with longer entries for specific shows) cover every stage, film, and television project in which either person was involved, as well as entries on notable performers, librettists, songsters, and specific songs, with numerous cross-references. Of particular interest are entries covering such specialized topics as ethnicity, settings, and list songs. Appendixes list Rodgers and Hammerstein's awards and recordings, and the index is particularly useful. Hischak's writing style is both informative and fascinating, with just enough subjectivity to keep users browsing. Music lovers will appreciate the attention he pays to song recordings not from cast albums. This will be an indispensable guide to this most American genre for all theater and music collections. Highly recommended. All undergraduates and general readers." - Choice, "The amazingly productive Hischak, author/editor of 15 theater books to date, turns his attention to two giants of the American musical theater in a work that more aptly should be titled The Rodgers and Hammerstein and Kern and Hart et al.

- _***d (6)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoEl artículo correspondía al de la descripción. Llegó quizá en un bolsa con poca protección por lo que el libro llegó con daños en la cubierta. Hablé con el vendedor y me ofreció muy amablemente un reembolso. Muy contento con el vendedor.
- l***c (29)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoItem in condition described. The shipment tracking was completely opaque and shipping was slow. The seller used a third-party shipping solution provider that gave a USPS tracking number, but, USPS had no real tracking info. I was not able to see any delivery estimate until the day before it arrived. When the delivery date estimate finally materialized, it was off by two days, saying arrival would be on e.g. the 5th when it actually arrived on the 3rd.
- b***3 (500)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoAs the title mentions awesomebooksusa, most books have been rarely awesome but the book prices have been almost generous, granted. Unbelievable services : 3 day international shipping, prompt dispatch, newly book condition, provided tracking, secure package, exactly received book, and safe deliveries. My gratitude to the seller’s thoughts of the needy buyers sending the wanted books to the new residence. Many thanks! Arabella
