Description
This 930-page book contains an alphabetized list of great classical composers. Details about the different works of each composer are included in a brief biography. From Aaltoila to Zwilich, major composers like Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Tchaikovsky are covered, as are the less well known but equally fascinating composers like Hildegard Von Bingen, Dubussy, Respighi, and Orff. Color illustrations in the book portray some of the composers. Most composer entries are accompanied by recommended listening of their music from the included set of two CDs. The CDs with over 2 1/2 hours of playing time are great for corresponding to the booklet or for recreational listening at any time. Also included is an extensive glossary of musical terms, a list of classical music in over 450 films, and a bonus area with 150 tracks to stream (and 25 to download). And a great price for all of that! - Rachel S.
