Meet The Classics

Series on the Sine Qua Non label. Sine Qua Non presents the outstanding composers of the Western World in chronological sequence from the world of Vivaldi and Corelli to the Twentieth Century classics of Igor Stravinsky and George Gershwin. Each album contains the life story and music of a gifted composer. The descriptive narration that accompanies each carefully-selected musical excerpt features the composer's character - his emotions, revelations and interests. The musical passages reflect the exuberance, enthusiasm, melancholy and adversity that were so much a part of the composer's life. Inside each album cover is a complete chronological profile of the composer and an exhaustive, illustrated liner bibliography of his musical works. A colorful wallet-sized card accompanies each album with the composer's picture on the front, and a musical quiz on the reverse. Meet the Classics, an outstanding musical experience designed to nourish the joy of music appreciation, is yet another symphonic achievement from Sine Qua Non.
