From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

I would have picked far more compelling examples of current absurdities destroying Western Civilization. Otherwise,

I'm a big fan of Barzun.

If I'm not confusing his book with Boorstin's "Creators," I really enjoyed all the surprising perspective, such as IIRC the "invention" of the audience, (passive onlookers as opposed to participants) and the invention of the Concert Hall, which allowed the recently invented "artist" to orchestrate in far more subtle ways.

Great stuff~
