1.Sergey Prokofiev (20th Century Composers) (20th Century Composers)Sergey Prokofiev (20th Century Composers) (20th Century Composers)
from Phaidon Press Inc.
Price: $11.01

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

2.Leonard Bernstein (20th-Century Composers)Leonard Bernstein (20th-Century Composers)
from Phaidon Press
Price: $22.45

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

from Phaidon Press Inc.
Price: $9.71

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

5.Igor Stravinsky (20th Century Composers) (20th Century Composers)Igor Stravinsky (20th Century Composers) (20th Century Composers)
from Phaidon Press Inc.
Price: $11.01

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

from Phaidon Press
Price: $24.95

Customer Review:
Webern's music seems to me to be something of an acquired taste. This biography, however, is perfectly designed to encourage one to acquire a taste for the strange atonal wisps of sound that comprise a good part of this composer's ouevre.

Rather than getting bogged down in technical discussions of... more info

from Phaidon Press Inc.
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
Guy Rickards' biography of Jean Sibelius is probably the most throroughly written document on the great Finnish composer who lived from December 1865 to September 1957.
Greatly researched with detailed emphasis, Rickards not only offers an historic insight to Sibelius as a composer but also as... more info
