The Classical Music Encylopedia, now fully updated, traces the
development of Western music from medieval times through to the
twenty-first century. Each chapter begins with an Introduction to
the era, followed by an A to Z of the key composers and musicians
of the era, with an expert's recommended recording for each entry.
Within these, the musical greats - from Mozart to Stravinksy - have
more extensive entries. The Styles and Forms sections discuss the
many different styles of music, from the earliest notation to the
minimalism of the twentieth century, while the development of each
era's Instruments is also extensively investigated. Written by many
of the world's leading experts in the field, this invaluable
encyclopedia is comprehensive, easy-to-use and highly informative -
an essential guide for readers of all levels.
BAFTA-AWARD winning documentary-maker, Christopher Nupen has made
more than 80 films on classical music and musicians. Here, he tells

with a 13 minute DVD showcasing a selection of his finest films.
His pioneering portrait-films count among their subjects Daniel
Barenboim, Jacqueline du Pre, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Itzhak Perlman,
Pinchas Zukerman, Nathan Milstein, Andres Segovia, Yevgeny Kissin,
Karim Said, and Daniil Trifonov, many of whom have become lifelong
friends. His 1969 film The Trout is legend. His film We Want the
Light has won some of the most prized awards in documentary making,
including the Jewish Cultural Award for Film and Television,
2003/2004.
