shelf guide मीनिंग इन हिंदी

In his published " Record Shelf Guide ", Svejda himself describes the book as " an irreverent, selective and highly opinionated recordings guide of the best classical CDs and audiocassettes . " He often has viewpoints that might be considered divergent from those of many other music critics.
While admitting that they sometimes have turned out excellent recordings, Svejda has been critical of such illustrious musicians as Vladimir Horowitz and Arturo Toscanini, as well as Herbert von Karajan ( whom he has excoriated for his alleged Nazi past ) and especially Nikolaus Harnoncourt, whom Svejda has called an " incompetent bozo . " He tends to favor conductors and musicians who " do not " follow a printed musical score literally, and his guidebook, " The Record Shelf Guide to the Classical Repertoire ", often will recommend a controversial recording of a piece ( such as Sir Thomas Beecham's 1959 recording of Handel's " Messiah " ), alongside a more traditional one.
