Basic Reading For Classical Music Lovers

Without a doubt this book is required for the classical music lover. Most of the book is a compilation of program notes from the New York Philharmonic Orchestra programs. With music examples included with many of the pieces described, there is no better all around basic guide to the orchestral repitoire. Highly recommended!
