Synopsis

Now fully revised and updated to include the most recent recordings, THE PENGUIN GUIDE TO BARGAIN CDs forms part of the ongoing, most comprehensive survey of classical music on CD ever published. As the classical music recording industry becomes ever more competitive, so prices have tumbled, to the extent that the greater part of the repertoire is now available at bargain prices, and in recordings of outstanding quality. The authors, as always, set themselves the huge task of determining the finest recordings from a bewildering mass of material on the market, and the large number of rosettes in this edition demonstrates how quality is not always synonymous with high prices.
