| Description |
|
|
Music journalist Tom Moon, a regular contributor to NPR's All Things Considered as well as Rolling Stone and other publications, here celebrates the joy, the revelation, the mystery, the fun, the shivers-up-the-spine pleasure of great music. Moon's range is phenomenal; he offers passionate and informed assessments of essential operas, milestone rock albums, the world of world music, a whole education in the blues, and classical from Bach to Bartók to Brahms, not to mention dozens of unexpected gems, discoveries, and lost masterpieces. The entries are alphabetical, to break down preconceptions of genre—here is Miles Davis next to Claude Debussy, who is next to the Decemberists—and the entries are also cross-referenced to let readers follow connections and trends in music.
