Title: Thorough global coverage of all aspects of classical music
Product review: In a single volume this book thoroughly covers music, musicians, composers, directors, instruments - - from the beginnings to today. It is global in its scope and has leavening quotations on almost every other page from a variety of sources. Good summaries of operas, a chronology of music history, recommended recordings, are also included. The editor achieves a dynamic balance of serious material with a light touch.
