With my system settled for the foreseeable future (he said hopefully, with an eye on his bank account), I'd like to get a bit more familiar with classical music. I've been listening to a lot of it lately, mainly because with the Pro-ject/Grado combi I have discovered the beauty of the albums I do have (Handel, Beethoven, Schubert among others).
The problem is I don't really know where to start. That's why I'm looking for a good introductory book on classical music. I hope Andrew and other knowledgeable people can give me some hints here. (Oh, countering the obvious suggestion: Gramophone is very hard to get by where I live). Thanks in advance!
