A-Z of Classical Music -

Is it a two-CD set with a particularly thick booklet, or a 562-page book with a ... more

compilation album attached? Whichever, the
unpretentious text by Keith Anderson offers a
basic introduction to the lives and works of
dozens of composers, together with recommended
recordings from the Naxos and Marco Polo
catalogues. Anderson also includes a useful
59-page glossary of musical terms and an extensive
listing of which classical pieces have been
employed in which films. The odd thing about the
36 extracts and complete pieces on the CDs is that
they do not form an A-Z at all, but are arranged
chronologically, from 1,000-year-old Gregorian
chant to the opening movement of contemporary
composer Philip Glass's Violin Concerto. Between
these two points is the early music of Palestrina
and Byrd, the baroque glories of Vivaldi and Bach,
the 19th-century romantic masters from Beethoven
to Tchaikovsky, and such 20th-century greats as
Rachmaninov and Stravinsky. Opera, song and
chamber music are barely represented, but there
isonly so much that can fit into 151 minutes.
Essentially a deluxe sampler for the vast Naxos
catalogue, the discs offer a good introduction to
some of the most famous and melodic music ever
composed, while the book will be very useful to
the newcomer to the potentially confusing world of
classical music. --Gary S Dalkin

The Biggest Little Box of Classical Music

Advantages: An excellent introduction to Classical Music
Disadvantages: None

This is a companion set to Naxos' "The A~Z of Opera" (previously reviewed.. It follows the same format and is an ideal compilation for people who are new to classical music as well as classical music buffs. It contains a double CD with two and a half hours of classical music (as you would expect) and a 562 page book (not quite as thick as the Opera one) compiled and written again by Keith Anderson.

So what's in the pack?
.../> This contains 562 pages of information pertaining to classical music. It's the same size as a CD and fairly thick. The text is concise and clear and informative, with portraits of composers throughout. After the index you get 450 pages of concise histories of composers, with recommendations of recordings from the Naxos catalogue. It is arranged in alphabetical order, and starts with Adolphe Adam and is completed by Bernd Alois Zimmerman. As well ... more
