[ARSCLIST] Classical/Opera biography/discography books by artist?

[Doug Henkle <henkle@xxxxxxxxx>]

     Looking at the Penguin and Third Ear books which list Classical Music 
recordings by composer, are there any comparable books that list Classical 
Music recordings by recording artist?  I haven't seen one.

     The same question goes for Opera.  I have yet to find any book that 
lists Opera recordings by the soloist performers.

     Some books have indexes that list just the names of artists with the 
page numbers of the classical music recordings they are on, or the Operas 
they have performed in, but that is not what I am looking for.  I have or 
have seen many books that have alphabetical entries of artists complete 
with biographies and discographies in other specific genres like, Folk, 
Country, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Reggae, Hip Hop, Lounge, Irish, Celtic, World 
and Soul, but not specifically Classical Music or Opera.  Why not?
