Features: "The Bible of Music" (Revised Edition) is a substantial expansion of the original "The Bible of Music." The version recommendations primarily rely on the rankings of "The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music," Japan's "Record Art," the U.S. TAS, and the "Gramophone" magazine. Additional information is supplemented by music magazines and various record guides from Europe, America, and Japan. The entire book compiles all available information on Western classical music repertoire, background, and record versions, mostly based on the most up-to-date CD information. The recommended versions also focus on major company products that are easily accessible in the domestic market. "The Bible of Music" integrates Western music history, (piece names), work information, work interpretations, and record version guides, making it the best choice for (appreciation guides) to Western classical music in the CD era.
