Each double page contains a picture of a famous composer, along with a short and simple (but informative!) biography in English and a beautiful full color illustration. The author, Yaakov Mishori, played French Horn in the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra for 40 years.
Each page has an accompanying button which, when pressed will play the music! Listen to a several minute long selection of each composer's most popular and accessible music!
