 AnAbsolute Nesessity for MUsic Lovers
The book is not only educational, but it is extremely interesting and not in a text book way. Any person who enjoys classical music should buy this book. It is well worth the money.
Superb
I loved the whole tv series, bought the DVD and then the book. The book is basically the spoken words of the tv series and flows along beautifully, educating us in the basics of the classical music greats. Stunning scenery and insights into the beauty of classical europe, it takes us on a journer that we want to live in real life.
This is one to own......and if you love the book then make sure you have the DVD as well!!!
A delightful visual and written treat
CLASSICAL DESTINATIONS: AN ARMCHAIR GUIDE TO CLASSICAL MUSIC considers the history and geography of classical music in Europe's greatest cities, blending over 200 color photos in a new title tied to the TV series and national PBS special of the same name. It's more than a biography, though it does consider the lives of the great world composers - it blends in a travelogue to the places they lived and created in, it shows how their works were influenced by the cities they lived in, and it blends travel with classical music insights in a delightful visual and written treat recommended for any library collection strong in classical music history and culture.
great photos, great history
I wish that I would have had this book while planning my travels around Europe! The photos and stories that it comes with are absoultely amazing. As a person who loves to travel and majored in music, this book is able to tell and show the historic cities that inspired some of the greatest classical music ever! I can't wait for my next trip to Europe to see some of the things that I missed!
