4 Though it may not have been feasible, the sections on recording would have also benefited from a multimedia component, perhaps in the form of a CD or an affiliated website. When, for example, Barker describes the ‘Viennese warmth and inflection’ of the Pro Arte's recordings under Rudolf Kolisch (164), it would be helpful to hear those qualities firsthand, rather than having to take Barker's word for it.
