Editorial reviews
This follow-up to the award-winning Famous Composers, focuses on portraits of Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Rachmaninov, and contemporary artist Paul Williams. The program provides interesting biographical facts about each composer, brief re-enactments from their lives, and pieces of important works. Though clearly designed for children, this engaging audio experience is educational for a wide audience.

Critic Reviews
"The pleasantly voiced Marin Alsop once again acts as musical tour guide, giving historical context and sharing engaging bits of information...while also calling our attention to interesting, illustrative moments in the music. Though clearly designed for children, this engaging audio experience is educational for a wide audience." (AudioFile)
