“Music clips are not found in this audiobook. Instead, music historian Harvey Sachs offers some fascinating context on ten works that he considers to be masterpieces. Fans of great classical music will find Sachs’s audiobook a delight, particularly as narrated by Paul Bellantoni…an engaging listen…This audiobook is certain to have listeners seeking out these masterpieces for a first or repeat listen.” —AudioFile
“A fascinating, fluidly and entertainingly written rumination on great works in the canon…Sachs speaks lovingly about the music that has most affected him.” —Simon Morrison, professor of music, Princeton University
“Harvey Sachs has the rare gift of conveying a great deal of knowledge with a clarity and wit that make it accessible to the student and lover of music while presenting the informed musician with ample food for thought.” —Alfred Brendel, world-renowned pianist
