Resumen
The new, completely revised edition of The Penguin Guide surveys the key classical recordings issued and reissued on CD over the past two decades, many of which have dominated the catalogue because of their sheer excellence, irrespective of their recording dates. Now DVDs have also been added, with their extra video dimension, as well as the sound enhanced SACDs. If you want to be sure of acquiring the finest available version of any major classical work (including DVDs of opera and ballet) you will find it listed and assessed in these pages – often with alternatives of comparable excellence in different price ranges. This latest edition contains more entries than ever before. Ranging from long-established recordings to the latest releases, it represents the cream of the international repertoire and has all the information you will need to select the finest classical music available.
