Book Reviews of The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection : The 350 Essential Works
Book Review: This Looks Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been collecting classical music for about five years now, and I know how challenging it is to pick what to add next (I'm still fairly new at this with a smaller collection, I can only imagine how hard it will be once I have a more substantial one). I typically rely on listening to a few classical stations online and locally, if I find a piece appealing I wait to hear what it is identified as, write it down then head over to gemm.com to see what kind of deal I can get. But after reading just the excerpt I have a feeling my strategy will change once I pick this book up. I will still head over to gemm, they really have just about the best prices around, and listen intently but will definitely take Mr. Libbey's suggestions and knowledge with me when looking to the next piece to add to my collection.
I can't wait to get my hands on this book!
