Review:
"This edition presents an enlargement, both physically and topically, of Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians (8th ed. 1992. BJ203). Formerly the standard one-volume biographical dictionary for classical music, it now has been published in six volumes and has added popular music and jazz to its focus."
