This is an amazing website that gives the biographies and discographies of all the major classical composers since before the time of Bach. It is a wonderful resource to go to if you want to learn more about a specific composer, his history, and his compositional output. I don't agree with all of the suggested discography, but I will admit that most of the recordings suggested are a good starting point for most people learning about classical music.
This is a perfect website for younger students to start learning about a great array of composers, and their most famous compositions. I definitely wish I had something like this growing up! A 2nd or 3rd grader could easily reference this website in a book report or school project. They could learn about music history, and get a great start on all the amazing music in the world.
So, check it out!

Thank you for posting this website. I think that it is another great resource that can be used for music education. I think that it provides some nice basic information about composers and their music. I think that this is a good site to help teachers find music resources and to discover recordings that may be helpful to them when teaching. In addition, I think that this website could be useful to students as well. If students are looking for classical recordings, this website provides them with a good place to start as well as number of options that they could research and choose from. I think that this would be a good place for teachers and students to look to expand their classical repertoire.
