Summary
'Nicolas Slonimsky's venerable single-volume reference is now a six-volume set, with better page layout and typeface, and a subject range outside its traditional concentration on classical music. Under new editorship since Slonimsky's death in 1995, coverage has expanded to over 1,000 new entries on classical music and over 2,000 new entries on jazz and popular music. Nice features include reprints of Slonimsky's witty introductions to earlier editions and indexes for genre, nationality, and women composers and musicians.'--'Outstanding Reference Sources,' American Libraries, May 2002.Profiles of musicians, critics, publishers, recording companies, agents, composers, songwriters, and performers cover every genre from rock and popular music to operas and classical.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Baker's celebrates its 100th anniversary with this new multivolume format. Unlike past editions that were single-volume works covering primarily classical musicians and performers, the new 6-vol. "Baker's" covers all musical genres, with new entries written by a distinguished group of area specialists as well as the original articles of Nicolas Slonimsky. This work continues the tradition of offering the most comprehensive and authoritative information on the musicians, along with interesting and insightful evaluations of their contributions to the musical world. Baker's remains the most affordable, comprehensive and readable of all music reference works, providing everyone from the student to scholar a one-stop resource for all their music biographical needs.
