Classical Music: The 50 Greatest Composers and Their 1,000 Greatest Works
Phil was an ordinary man with no Classical Music background who decided he would begin to learn. This book is the result of thousands of dollars spent on the great pieces of music from various composers and the countless hours spent listening and recording his thoughts from a non professional viewpoint. I picked this book up when I knew nothing but wanted to learn and it was a great journey because the author wasn't a snob or critical of those who knew nothing about the music he simply laid out a good starting place for collecting, he wrote some good essays about the composers and ranked them according to his love for the composers works, along with what the professional world has said throughout history. The thing that was great for the collector was the list of the recordings you should have of each of the composers, which I now proudly own most and will listen to and cherish for a lifetime. I've hoped that the USA would get back to a love for Classical music and abolish Rap instead maybe this book could expedite that. 4 Star because I disagree with some of his conclusions, but more like a 1/2 star off for that.
