Description
Anthony Tommasini's personal guide to greatness in classical music explores the concept through his own life and experiences. The author, chief classical music critic for The New York Times, has devoted attention to living composers and overlooked repertory, yet acknowledges the enduring importance of the canon.
Tommasini argues that these exalted composers have profoundly shaped how he sees the world, resonating with his deepest emotions. In "The Indispensable Composers", he offers a masterclass in understanding what music does to us and provides insights into what to listen for from his chosen pantheon of indispensable composers.
This book is an engaging exploration of greatness in classical music, offering a unique perspective on the subject.
