An enlightening look at the world of high-end violins and their conservation for posterity. “Big Notes” by John Axelrod, published by Clink Street Publishing, is the ultimate ‘how to’ book for buying, selling, collecting, and insuring a Stradivarius. Written as a guide for investors, the benefits of being part of history are explored and go far beyond the financial returns. Anecdotes, history, and violin esoterica make for a fun read for anyone with an interest in classical music.

ClassicalRock is both Classical and Rock. The Best Hits of Classical Music combined with the Best Hits of Classic Rock.Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries bangs heads with Black Sabbath's Iron Man. Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, with members of the Choir Accentus and featuring star Baritone Nmon Ford, begins as an old vinyl recording, opens into a modern oratorio and dissolves into Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. Led Zeppelin's Kashmir evokes the exotic and erotic as does Rimsky Korsakov's Sheherezade. Stairway to Heaven, with Patsy Blackstone on vocals, follows the sunrise from Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathrustra. And the Who's Pinball Wizard scores with Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
