5.0 out of 5 stars A Book For Serious Musicians, January 4, 2004

This review is from: Music for Piano and Orchestra, Enlarged Edition: An Annotated Guide (Paperback)

As with the author's other works (Guide To The Pianist's Repertoire, etc.) this book is comprehensive and probably the best one of its kind. Not only are the mainstays of the concerto repitoire included, but also virtually every concerted work for piano and orchestra that has been published. The amount of literature in this genre is huge, and the author tackles it all with information galore. Recommended!
