List of chief 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 make it easier to find the likely author of a review, or at least the influence of the chief 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, Joseph Addison had contributed essays on music to The Spectator Handel 's era. Former opera impresario Willian Ayrton began writing occasional musical criticism for The Morning Chronicle The Examiner The Harmonicon [ 1] The Athenæum H F Chorley , writing from 1830 to 1868) sometimes covered musical topics. Specialist music paper The Musical World began publication in 1836 and The Musical Times Hector Berlioz wrote reviews and criticisms for the Paris press of the 1830s and 1840s,[ 2] Gérard de Nerval and François-Joseph Fétis . In Germany, Robert Schumann began giving influential reviews for the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik [ 4] Ludwig Rellstab established himself as (according to Max Graf ) "the first great music critic".[ 5]
But The Morning Post The Times J W Davidson , in 1846. It has been suggested that critic and librettist Joseph Bennett , writing for The Daily Telegraph from 1870 (then claimed to have the largest circulation in the world), held back the progress of English music due to his antipathy to Wagner , leaving Bernard Shaw as the only modern critic in the UK in the late eighties and early nineties.[ 7] Eduard Hanslick became a leading figure in Austria, writing for the Neue Freie Presse [ 8]
The presence of music criticism continued to grow, and by the 20th century numerous major newspapers had joined The Morning Post and Times in establishing permanent music critic posts, including The Daily Telegraph The Guardian The Observer The Sunday Times Chicago Tribune New York Herald Tribune The New York Times Richard Aldrich , Henry Theophilus Finck , William James Henderson , James Huneker and Henry Edward Krehbiel . Other leading critics of this time included John Alexander Fuller Maitland , Samuel Langford and Ernest Newman in Britain, and Paul Bekker in Germany.
After World War II, leading critics included Eric Blom , Neville Cardus , Martin Cooper , Olin Downes , Harold C. Schonberg and Virgil Thomson . Influential music critics from the late 20th century include Martin Bernheimer , Robert Commanday , Richard Dyer , Michael Kennedy and Michael Steinberg . In the 21st century fewer newspapers have dedicated critics for classical music, but writers have still been active, such as Alex Ross at The New Yorker , Anthony Tommasini at The New York Times and both Tim Page and Anne Midgette at The Washington Post
