    Joseph Kerman at 60

    Just before his 60thbirthday, after Andrew Porter had (yet again) cited Opera as Dramain that week’s New Yorker, I asked Joe what it what it was like to be so remembered, so notorious, for what amounted to one’s opening salvo—and for three words of that salvo, no less. He shrugged and said “I haven’t really thought that much about Puccinisince then: other things to do.”

    (Opera as Drama appeared in 1956 and has been in one or another form of print ever since. A 50th-anniversary edition was published by the University of California Press in 2006.)

    We had moved to California in 1973, and I suppose stayed here in part because of Joe and Vivian, who had welcomed us from the first and who were the patina on those early years of discovering an unknown land. For two decades we talked or corresponded—toward the end, e-mailed—almost every day, mostly about 19th-Century Music, the journal we founded togeth

    • List of ledare music critics

      Leading critics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, clockwise, from left to right:

      Western classical music has a substantial history of music criticism, and many individuals have established careers as music critics. However, concert reviews are not always credited in the daily and weekly newspapers, especially those in the early to mid-20th century. This selective list of chief music critics (or equivalent title, influence or status) aims to man it easier to find the likely author of a review, or at least the influence of the ledare music critic on what was covered and how.

      Journalistic newspaper criticism of Western music did not properly emerge until the 1840s. Before then, in England, namn Addison had contributed essays on music to The Spectator in Handel's era. Former musikdrama impresario Willian Ayrton began writing sporadisk musical criticism for The Morning Chronicle (1813–26) and The Examiner (1837–51) and found
