This review is from: The Chronicle of Classical Music: An Intimate Diary of the Lives and Music of the Great Composers (Paperback)
As the professional reviewers observe this book is extremely limited in its written material, but it does provide a good visual reference to the times that the music was written. Being a Thames and Hudson publication, it tends to focus on British performers in its recommendations of most famous singers and musicians. American performers are given short shrift. Yet I do like it for what it does provide. I got it to go with a fabulous audio class taught through the Teaching Company by Robert Greenberg on the History of Western Music. So, as a short, general, timeline survey it is an adequate, beautifully illustrated reference. For greater depth, this author is a co-editor of a four volume treatise on the subject. That, and several others are referenced in the bibliography.
