CD Reviews

If you could only afford one CD get this one.

11/29/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"All of the pieces are true classics, and there is a varied selection. Most of the pieces are familar works, and the essence of the collection is far above your typical collection of classical hits. If you had to buy this same collection independently it would cost you a fortune. Save yourself the money, and trust that this CD contains all of the finest selections you will ever need to start off your basic collection."

Disappointing

03/04/2001

(1 out of 5 stars)

"We were quite disappointed with this collection. Although the mix of music is good, the sound quality on several of the recordings was unacceptable and the volume fluctuates. For instance, "Carmina Burana" was either deafening or completely inaudible."

A Wonderful Potpourri

G. Greene | 11/06/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album has some fabulous music on it, all by first-rate peformers. There isn't a disappointing cut on it, and it would be particularly a great gift for a person just embarking on an exploration of classical music in all its glory. It leaves the listener wanting to buy in their entirety all of the works included on the CD, and I don't think that you can ask for much more than that from a compilation. I'm ready for Volume II!"
