"Two CD box sets about which we sing praises: A-Z of Classical Music and A-Z of Opera. Such letter-perfect gifts from Naxos!" --Alan Petrucelli, CBS News Entertainment Report

A-Z of Classical Music is a remarkable 562-page illustrated book, detailing the lives of all the great composers as well as many less known, but equally fascinating, musical masters. Like the Naxos range of recordings itself, A-Z of Classical Music, in its new expanded edition, is a rich source of inspiration for anyone either just embarking on a lifetime of musical enjoyment or for whom classical music has long been a way of life. Included within is an extensive glossary of musical terms plus a unique guide to classical music used in acclaimed films. 2.5 hours of the finest music from across the centuries is contained on the accompanying CDs.
