"Classical" refers specifically to the music of the late 18th and early 19th centuries but more broadly to music that has endured the test of time and some sort of artistic standard (it's a fuzzy boundary). Whether you enjoy Shostakovitch's fugues or Cage's aleatoric music, here you will find a focus on 20th century composers, album reviews, and historical/biographical information about the musicians and symphonies that have left a recorded legacy.
From Wagner to Berlioz, Brahms to Beethoven, Mozart to Handel, Bach to Stravinsky, we'll review the recordings essential to your library. We'll also feature modern interpretations of the art from Philip Glass to John Adams, John Cage to Steve Reich.
