Book Reviews of The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music 2008
Book Review: steep decline in quality
Summary: 1 Stars
Sadly this publication has slipped badly. Did they really have an editor?? I loved this book in past editions-they led to my deepening appreciation of classical music and through them I made many great discoveries. This edition is a mess however-inconsistent, full of typos, confusing, repetitive, and a waste. Hope somebody straightens this out. wish I had gotten my money back.
