Book Reviews of The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection : The 350 Essential Works
Book Review: Nice listing of basic works, but 10 years out of date
Summary: 3 Stars
I should have read the product description more carefully. Had I seen that this book was published in 1999 -- 10 years ago -- I would have not bought the book. It gives a nice listing of works worth considering, but if you want more up-to-date listings of recordings, you'll need to buy the Penguin Guide, The Grammophone Guide, or both.
