Karl Haas, creator and host of the internationally syndicated radio program "Adventures in Good Music," has an inimitable flair for bringing classical music to life. This is a definitive and fascinating reference work for anyone who loves classical music and wants to learn more about its many aspects and dimensions.
Worthy of the bookshelf in perpetuity. But don't expect an easy or quick read. This took me a year...a page a day roughly to absorb the excellent music suggested by the author.
