A fun way to introduce Classical Music

"This compilation Album represents the best that the Hooked on Classics series have to offer. THis is an excellent way to make Classical Music interesting to those who might think Classical Music is "boring". Louis Clark has arranged some of the most popular composers and their most popular works in a way that will keep toes tapping and hands clapping to the fast tempos while some of the slower tracks (Hooked on Romance) become warm melodies to the ear.As usual, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of londa, plays the arrangements with seeming ease and perfecton. The orcehstras ability to play these arrangements is more than just "playing along with a Rock beat" but, a wonderful demonstration of musical perfection.Louis Clark createtd the hooked on Classics world, with Albums 1 - 3 and has been followed by others who try to copy his recipe (Hooked on Classics 4 - Hooked on Baroque and Hooked on Classics 5)but never seem to capture the gleam of the original three albums. Take time to sit back, relax and let Louis Clark and the Royal Philharmonic Orcehstra take you on a Journey through the Classics with this wonderful compilation!"

"If you want great music to exercise by, this is it! It can make your time on the treadmill or exercise bike fly by. If you're new to it, try the "If You Knew Sousa" tracks. I promise you won't be sorry! Have fun! Exercise!"

"MORE "HOOKED ON CLASSICS" IS exactly the same as HOOKED ON CLASSICS cd. DO NOT BUY. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE MANUFACTURER.....THEY CLAIMED "IF I OPENED SUCH CD, I CANNOT RETURN". Well, how would I know that 'MORE HOOKED ON CLASSICS' is the same exactly as HOOKED ON CLASSICS????? So don't buy it.....but the 3 cd set.....and you will be delighted. Bought on Amazon"
