Review:

"From Adagio to Zipoli, by way of Intermezzo and Tavener, this perfect little book takes all the mystique out of classical music, pulling off the trick of being neither pompous nor patronising." --Stephen Fry

"A wonderful miscellany of musical information - marvellous!" --Alex James

"A fun way to discover the joys of classical music." --Julian Lloyd Webber
