Features: This book compiles nearly 150 prominent classical music stars from three generations (elders, middle-aged, and young) in the global music scene today, covering major performance fields such as string instruments, wind instruments, percussion, piano, conducting, and vocal music. While emphasizing readability, the content and text strive for the authenticity and reliability of relevant information and references, serving as a reference tool. The arrangement of the book's table of contents does not follow the dictionary-style alphabetical order. Instead, it is categorized and organized according to an approach that reflects a degree of generational continuity (elders, middle-aged, and young). The criteria for selecting the individuals in the book include: first, those with distinguished reputations and profound expertise; second, those who have excelled in their respective fields or aspects; third, formally signed artists with international renowned record labels whose recorded works have had a broad impact; and finally, the rising stars among the younger generation.
