Music

Now in its fifth edition, The Rough Guide to Classical Music remains the ideal handbook on the subject. Both a CD guide and who's who, it covers a thousand years of music from Georgian chant via Mozart and Schubert to contemporaries such as John Adams and Judith Weir. Contains biographies of over 200 composers, concise reviews of hundreds of CDs and a glossary of technical terms.
