2.Carl Nielsen (20th-Century Composers)Carl Nielsen (20th-Century Composers)
from Phaidon Press
Price: $133.00

Customer Review:
If you know nothing about Danish composer Carl Nielsen's music, this is not the place to start. Hear something first. Most composers don't lead especially interesting lives. We are interested mainly in their music. I'd start with the Helios Overture. If it intrigues you, go on to other pieces, like... more info

3.Leonard Bernstein (20th-Century Composers)Leonard Bernstein (20th-Century Composers)
from Phaidon Press
Price: $4.33

Customer Review:
This brief biography of the life of Leonard Bernstein captivated me. I am very familiar with the music of Bernstein, but never got to know him the way my parent's generation did.

Bernstein was ever in the forefront of music both popular, and classical. His "Young People's Concerts" made him, and... more info

4.George Gershwin (20th Century Composers)George Gershwin (20th Century Composers)
from Phaidon Press Inc.
Price: $8.25

Customer Review:
Seemed a little odd reading a book about Gershwin by a Brit named Greenberg. There are many on this side of the ocean that knew Gershwin intimately and it is there rather than in this book that you will find an authentic rather than scholarly approach. Anyone can accumulate information and... more info

Perry does an excellent job of telling a disinterested life of each of the musicians he proflies, from Sachmo to Miles. The plates are great. Anyone looking for a biography on the great jazz musicians should definately buy this one.

6.Igor Stravinsky (20th Century Composers)Igor Stravinsky (20th Century Composers)
from Phaidon Press Inc.
Price: $8.06

Customer Review:
Igor Stravinsky is truly one of the giants, if not the giant, of 20th century music. Michael Oliver accurately captures the essence of the man and his music in this book about the man and his life and times.

First of all, the book is well written. The music is described thoroughly and there is... more info

7.Sergey Prokofiev (20th Century Composers)Sergey Prokofiev (20th Century Composers)
from Phaidon Press Inc.
Price: $9.15

Customer Review:
I must admit that this is the first biography of Prokofiev that I have ever read. Jaffe must have been mindful of the book's length. I would guess that the good folks at Phaidon told him to 'keep it short.' As such, he moves rather quickly through the events of Prokofiev's life, with occassional... more info

from Phaidon Press
Price: $8.51

Customer Review:
Erich Wolfgang Korngold is a composer who for far too long was known only to film buffs and a few aficionados here and there. His centenary in 1996 brought with it a tremendous rush of reappraisal, recordings and performances, all of which have helped to re-establish Korngold as a force to be... more info

from Phaidon Press Inc.
Price: $7.78

Customer Review:
Michael Oliver's "Benjamin Britten" is both informative and insightful. As one in a series of 20th Century Composers, I found this edition most interesting. I have read six other editions from the series, and Michael Oliver's is the best written thus far.

There are several well written... more info
