Classical Music
Customer Review: The perfect introduction to classical music
This book is a gem. It is perfect for someone who knows little about classical music and doesn’t know where to start, and it is also a must-have for any lover of classical music. The book is packed with detail and very well-written. The author makes the subject fun and colourful by including anecdotes and other personal information about the composers and by ranking them and comparing them in a funny way that really works well. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Customer Review: This book changed my life!
I bought this book back in 1993 because I always loved classical music but knew very little about it. I cannot say enough good things about Goulding’s work. The book is funny and well-written, but more importantly well-thought-out. It is is extremely useful and highly, highly recommended for someone who wants to learn about classical music and build a collection. (FYI: As for the previous comment about Rachmoninoff, he is actually in the book, although not listed as a Top 50 in terms of importance and greatness. Goulding apparently agonized over this decision and includes a very funny section about it.)
