About This Book:

Title: 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die: A Listener's Life List

Other Available Formats:
Hardcover, 2008

Synopsis
There's no way to please everyone with a book like this, but author Tony Moon does his best to cover his bases. The selections in 1,000 RECORDINGS TO LISTEN TO BEFORE YOU DIE span many genres, perhaps encouraging listeners to check out a few representative samples from beyond their comfort zones. And within genres he does a nice job of spanning the ages--Guillaume de Mauchet through Phillip Glass in the classical arena, for instance. There are notable exceptions (no Iron Maiden) but notable inclusions, as well (it would have been a great oversight to exclude the often-overlooked Albert Ayler).
