CD Reviews

It's like a massage for your nervous system.

Steve Kraner | 01/25/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"When I pull out a CD, it's not often classical music. This one is the exception. If your nerves are jangled, there's nothing better to plug in, once you've taken your seat on a plane. You almost instantly relax. It's like a massage for your central nervous system. I notice in these reviews that classical music lovers tend to rate Pachabel CD's low. We all have different tastes, and I find these reviews help sort out what you will or won't like. With all due respect to those who love 'classical music,' most of it either bores me or gives me a headache. I guess this is for a different breed - those who don't tend to classical, but who may enjoy a truly beautiful piece of music, performed superbly."

"New Age" variations on the Pachelbel Canon

Mr. MADORE David | Paris, France | 10/27/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This should be made clear: the CD does not contain many versions of the Pachelbel Canon (...), in a "New Age" style but with classical form. The Canon itself is performed only once (on the last track). If you are an adept of baroque music, if you believe that the Canon should be performed as it was meant and written by Johann Pachelbel (with the Gigue that follows, for example), on authentic instruments, then by all means do not buy this CD, you will hate it. On the other hand, if you like the Pachelbel Canon in many forms, if you do not care about authenticity, and if you enjoy relaxing "New Age" style music, then you will love it. Evidently the composer (Michael Maxwell) is very able and, provided you do not take this CD for what it is not, it is a remarkable piece of work."

Absolutely Wonderful!

Mr. MADORE David | 10/07/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is so wonderful that I've just about worn it out and I'm ordering a copy for a friend for Christmas. The last track is the most beautiful piece of music ever written or performed and it brings me to tears! Another friend of mine, who is a music teacher, borrowed it for a class to teach the kids about different styles of music. She said the noctural was really very calming for them, and they enjoyed hearing the Canon performed in different ways."
