Roberto Kolb-Neuhaus has dedicated his life as a researcher to the study of the music of Silvestre Revueltas. He has published four books on the composer, including the catalog of his works. He designed the Foro Virtual Silvestre Revueltas homepage, and he is also the editor of the bilingual Revueltas Digital Manuscript Library. He is also the chief editor of the Revueltas Critical Edition, published by the National University of Mexico in collaboration with Peer Music. Kolb-Neuhaus has also contributed to the revival of Revueltas in his capacity as a performer and artistic director of Camerata de las Américas. His identity as a cultural promoter has led to the inclusion of Revueltas´s music in concert programs in Europe, United States and South America.
"In an unprecedented approach to the study of politically-driven music, Roberto Kolb-Neuhaus mines an arsenal of analytical tools from an array of disciplines to deconstruct the compositional legacy of Silvestre Revueltas (1899-1940), the legendary rebel of Mexican music.""-Malena Kuss, Ph.D., University of North Texas, Denton (Emeritus) This book contributes to position Revueltas in his rightful place as a composer of international importance, and to remove the patina of mysticism that has made Revueltas and his life the subject of much equivocation.""- Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez, Professor of Composition, Eastman School of Music"
