Query: A unique overview of classical music

This book is unique. It contains more than 70 individually written chapters on composers that give quick overviews of their life and work along with commentary on the available recordings of their music. Coverage ranges from the greatest names (Bach, Beethoven) to many that are much lesser known (Havergal Brian, Shulamit Ran). Of course, no such book could be complete; for example, Nikolai Kapustin and Mieczyslaw Vainberg are missing. However, this is a wonderful and essential reference book for all who love classical music.
