Used to collect each volume religiously before the internet opened up much more information on classic music recordings. The authors' succinct and authoritative, if somewhat fussy, but also often generous, summaries still resonate and influence, however.
Indispensible for a lover ,collector, or performer of classical music. I've been buying these as they've been issued for 20 years, and despite the "Englishness" of the selections, one can't really go wrong in following or reading this advice. Own it.
