Title: The newest edition is even better!!
Review: I owned the previous edition of this book. As someone relatively new to classical music, I found the book to be an ideal place to expand my interests. I initial purched th NPR Guide to begin my collection and then the previous edition of this book.It is possible to find faults with any guide containing suggestions for recordings and repertoire, I have been highly satisfied with the suggestions in the Rough Guide.As one of its best features the book contains music from the earlest times and includes contemporay composers. The descriptions of composers and recordings allows one a greater appreciation of the music.This edition contains twenty essays that did not appear in the previos edition on topics as diverse as gregorian chant to atonlity.This book is perfect for anyone interesed in Classical Music
