Synopsis:
In his guide, National Public Radio's Ted Libbey takes listeners by the hand through the classical repertory to build a music library. Now, five year after its original publication - with five years of new performances to consider, new releases to review, reissues to re-evaluate - Mr Libbey has revised and updated this book.
From the Back Cover: Where Do You Go After Mozart's Jupiter? After Bach's Brandenburg Concertos? After Beethoven's Third?
In this informed and indispensable guide, now in a second edition featuring a hundred new recordings, National Public Radio's Ted Libbey takes you by the hand through the classical repertory and helps you build an essential CD collection. Not just another rating book, this is a foremost expert's thoughtful and entertaining appreciation--work by work, performer by performer, recording by recording--of the symphonies, concertos, chamber pieces, keyboard works, sacred works, and operas that belong in every music lover's library. It includes the core 20 works for starting out, recommendations especially suited for young listeners, and an appendix listing additional works, beyond those covered in the first edition, that the author feels most passionate about.
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:
"I have been lost in this book for a week...Libbey('s) comparisons are wonders of lucidity, differentiation, and those 'open ears' Rostropovich spoke of." --Chicago Tribune
"An extensive guide and perfect companion to the basic classical repertory." --Digby Diehl, Playboy Magazine
