THE CLASSICAL FM HANDY GUIDES TO EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC Written by Darren Henley 2012, 224 Pages Genre: music, nonfiction
(I received an ARC from the NETGALLEY in exchange for an honest review.)
★★★1/2
Since I was a little I have been attracted to classical music. I would listen to opera on the radio and have no clue what they were saying but just loved the intensity of vocal and music. This was a cool book to read over time. It gives you not just the description of different music but it also gives you the history around the time that that music was "born" and popular. It's an easy read as it is more than just a reference book, but it can start to drag if you try to read it cover to cover.
