Book Reviews of Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music: (Fifth Edition) (1: Ancient to Baroque)
Book Review: Good, comprehensive collection - but horrible packaging.
Summary: 3 Stars
I used these CDs for a undergraduate Music History class I recently took. They provide a great addition to the Anthology of Music textbook, allowing the listener to hear examples of the music they are studying. This personally made it much easier to understand the material being taught, and the collection is varied and comprehensive enough to give a wide survey of music from the period.
That being said, these CDs obviously aren't meant to be a stand-alone collection. Instead, they provide examples of the music discussed in the Norton Anthology of Music book and are meant to be used with the book. Granted, many of these tracks are beautiful and excellent examples of the music from the period, but for someone looking for a set to casually listen to, I wouldn't necessarily recommend these.
Despite the quality of the music and the collection, I gave this set the rating it did because the packaging is absolutely horrible. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, they are packaged on a printed surface, so little bits of the printing became stuck to my CDs. Unlike that reviewer, I managed to scrape the pieces off and the discs worked fine, but the CDs were unplayable before, and had I not been extremely careful they could have been scratched. I am sure there are plenty of my fellow students who also had to deal with this immensely annoying problem!
