But with hundreds of recordings released every year, discovering the jewels is a challenge, for newcomers as well as for connoisseurs.\n\nNew York Times classical music critic Allan Kozinn offers the ultimate collector's guide, packed with a rich history of the composers and performers who stir our souls. From Bach's eloquent Goldberg Variations performed by master pianist Glenn Gould at the beginning and end of his career in startlingly different interpretations, to a lyrical performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade conducted by Kiril Kondrashin shortly after his defection from the Soviet Union, Kozinn places each work in the greater context of musical development and stretches the listener's understanding of each pivotal composition.\n\nThese original essays on the one hundred greatest recorded classical works provide both practical guidance for building a library and deep insight into the transcendent power of music itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805070705\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Times Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757825556781,"sku":"FBM_New_290","price":17.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5853\/5981\/files\/71DOu1BuJnL.jpg?v=1768500239","url":"https:\/\/silkroadstore.us\/products\/the-new-york-times-essential-library-classical-music-a-critics-guide-to-the-100-most-important-recordings","provider":"Silk Road Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
