I am not overly excited about the plethora of reissues, but, at a second
glance, I do welcome this strategy from Penguin. They are riding on the
coattails of their acclaimed editions of classic literature and it makes
sense -- great music with great literature. I think it is a wonderful way
for high schoolers & college students to get acquainted with the basic
repertoire. I hope it pays off, not just in sales, but in getting great
music into the hands of the uninitiated.
