Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Passion makes someone play an instrument, sing a song, write a tune: in other words make music. But passion is difficult to define and it is an almost impossible task to describe what makes a musician great. This book shares some of the author's ideas, selecting his 10 greatest only from the Western art tradition or classical musicians.

Sir Thomas Beecham -- Leonard Bernstein -- Kathleen Ferrier -- Evelyn Glennie -- Yehudi Menuhin -- Gerald Moore -- Franz Schubert -- Dmitri Shostakovich -- Giuseppe Verdi -- Richard Wagner.
