| | 2. |  | 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

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.

Anyone can accumulate information and... more info

| | 7. |  | 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
