The photographs of Charles Duvelle

"Charles Duvelle's work is indisputably one of the most important contributions to the human understanding of the rich biodiversity of our planet's music and language. This fine-art photography book comprises an exhaustive collection of Charles Duvelle's field photography from 1959 to 1978, demonstrating that this master musicologist had an equally unerring eye for photography. It also contains an exhaustive interview by Hisham Mayet, detailing the history of field recording. Includes two full-length CDs of archival recordings, some of which have never been published"--Publisher's description.
