Brief, but thorough 
2008-04-06
I've seen the unabridged version of this book and it's as big as an encyclopedia. The Brief Edition does well to summarize the important points in music history; though the meat of the book is centered in the classical (Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, Classical, Opera) and merely touches on the more modern componets like jazz and rock. Still, the book and accompanying CD are excellent for those wanting to get a light but informative immersion in the classic music world and learn a little bit about its most famous composers.

I was disappointed with the book I received only because it wasn't the ISBN number that I ordered. I placed the correct ISBN number in and it pulled up the correct book, however, it was not the book with the CD set. I placed the ISBN number in for the book with the CD set. The book I received had a TOTALLY different ISBN number for it. I am TRULY disappointed with this and will probably never order from Amazon again.
