[Robert Allan Wragg · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you are really into classical music this book is for you, it's tells you about theirs lies and their music. I have some of the composers music and as played their music I read about them and found they had interesting lives

[Iuliana Naughton · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this. It is a good guide and source of reference for anyone wanting to learn more. It includes biographies of the composers, critical appreciation of their music as well as a pictorial setting for that music. There is also a list of recommended recordings, which is always handy.
