Enthusiastic, if Naive, First Look at Classical Music
Perhaps a useful starter for people who have never encountered classical music, but people who know the field may have difficulty understanding how some of these pieces were chosen. His rankings of some of these composers comes across as rather naive for a musician who actually plays in an orchestra.

As dez sugestões de trabalhos musicais que são citadas nesse texto são nada menos que excelentes. Fiz questão de colocar as músicas pra ouvir enquanto li.

This is a very personal list. Although I dont agree with everything in the list, that is not a problem to me, being the author personal list. But I feel the book fails in explaining why this music is any good and relevant to be included in the list. While some explanations are amazing, most of them are just a combination of facts missing a narrative or engaging the reader.
