4.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for all Classical Music lovers!, 10 Oct 2000
By A Customer
There is nothing more frustrating than spending precious pennies on a CD, only to find that the conductor cannot hold his orchestra together, and that there is more 'hiss' than there is music. With this clearly presented book, you learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the best recordings on the market BEFORE you buy. This book is one of the best investments you could ever make, as each listed CD is placed into a fairly accurate price category - a feature that has saved me hundreds of pounds, and that STUDENTS would particularly welcome. The Penguin Guide to Bargain Compact Discs also gives invaluable advice about what to look for in a good recording, and can help you create a most impressive CD collection. On the downside, brilliant CDs are being produced incredibly rapidly, so the book will become out of date fairly quickly. However, good recordings will remain so for many years, and in my opinion, you cannot go wrong with this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars It WAS great, but now it's out of date, 19 Feb 2005
This used to be one of the most useful books a music-lover could buy. But, published in 1998, it's now sadly outdated. Many of the recommended CDs are no longer available, and of course a lot of CDs have appeared in the last 7 years. It's still of some use, but a new edition is long overdue.
