'Classical Destinations combines the history and geography of classical music, examining the lives of the great composers as related to their places of birth, education, triumphs and failures.  For today's traveller the book comes full circle describing how, through their achievements, the great composers also came to influence the places where they lived and performed ... places you can visit today to experience their histories first hand.'
