 Classical
Music: The 50 Greatest Composers and Their 1,000 Greatest
Works by Phil G. Goulding,
Phil G. Gooding
From
Bach to Mozart to Wagner, this comprehensive, opinionated,
one-volume guide ranks the top 50 classical composers, provides
a detailed and anecdotal look at the life of each, and analyzes
five essential works of each composer. Goulding offers specific
recommendations for the best CDs, concise explanations of
music terms, and more.
Phil
Goulding has written a completely accessible guide to classical
music, and the best part is he has the audacity to "rate
the composers." If you've ever wanted to know more
about classical music, this probably the most approachable
guide you could have. -- Sue Miller
