• Most appropriate for comprehensive music libraries and collections.
  —Choice April 2002
• [a] book that will certainly broaden the perspectives of even those with an extensive familiarity with Irish art music of both the past and the present.
  —Music and Letters 2003
• Books on Irish classical music are so rare that the appearance of a volume such as this is a cause for celebration. And if champagne is to be opened then we might indulge in a magnum to reward Mr. Klein's diligence in creating such a comprehensive list of recordings.
  —The Journal of Music in Ireland 2002
• This book is a welcome addition to any music library.
  —American Reference Books Annual
• [T]he book offers the means for scholars and general readers alike to familiarize themselves with a subject to which most of the world, until now, has not been exposed. As most of the music described is currently available on compact disc, Klein's compilation serves as an invaluable resource guide for both academic and amateur enthusiasts.
  —BBC Radio
• [T]his valuable book lists CDs, LPs and cassettes on which have been recorded works from the earliest composers recognized as `Irish' (such as John Field) right through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to today's most active and innovative figures.
