James Naughtie "The Making Of Music" (John Murray)





This paperback was given to me by my brother in a massive clear out of books from his library sometime last year and it has been an enjoyable book to dip into to.

If you are a listener to either BBC Radio 3 or Classic FM and wish to have a splendid introduction to Classical music over the centuries and to read about how composers added to the scope of musical invention then this is a book well worth buying and then listening with a new understanding.

Unfortunately, he does not mention much in the way of modern compositions and for me is of less interest, but please do not let this caveat put you off reading it. It is a good read albeit a personal one by Mr. Naughtie.
