A History of Music in Western Civilization: Fascinating Discussions by 11 Prominent Music Authorities, With Musical Examples

Summary: Good content, disappointing packaging
Review: I have the compact disc version, which is longer than the cassette version. I really like the discussions, but the packaging is skimpy. There should be a detailed description and table of contents in each jewel case. A small timeline and glossary would be wonderful. But it has none of these, and for the price I expected better. But the recordings are well done, and although I would have liked more talk about musical forms, the set does live up to its title.
