Product Description

Reader Reviews
I find the Gramophone Classical Music Guide an eminently useful companion when searching for recordings to add to my cd want list. While the editors do lean a shade heavily on the side of English perfomers and orchestras (one should not be surprised,) their ratings & observations are always insightful & informative. True, on occasion the reviews can be a trifle overly opinionated, but very much like Simon Cowell, they always end up being rather correct once I've had a chance to hear the cd in question, any abrasive tendencies aside. This publication, along side the Penguin Guide, is a must have help for the discerning classical music buyer. Purchase with ultimate confidence! Comment | | (Report this)
