Customer Reviews

Best guide to buying classical music compact discs I know.

While the subject of this book is "music," the author has provided a nice way of determining which works ought to be in one's library, and has done so with panache and wit. His thumbnail reviews of performers is very helpful, and his essay on music criticism is enlightening and entertaining. Would that more critics and scholars could be so informative and at the same time witty.
