by Chris Craker (Author)
This is an easy-to-read guide to classical music, intended for anyone who has been moved by the magic of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons or Puccini's Nessun Dorma . It aims to bring to life a fascinating world by unveiling the myths and mystique surrounding an art form which has been appreciated by relatively few. The book contains listening recommendations and factual information on top composers and performers, well-known film and television music, the world of opera and the instruments of the orchestra.
