The Rough Guide to Opera (Rough Guides Reference Titles)

£13.63

ROUGH IS THE WORD - There are too many hasty, ill-judged comments in the recommended recordings section to make this book worthwhile and historical versions are not accompanied by any warnings about poor sound. The synopses and notes are bettered in most cases in the booklets accompanying most opera CD sets. For a good value book of this kind with fuller and more reliable information try Opera for Dummies.Opera for Dummies
