CD Reviews

A must for music appreciation

Music Graduate Student | Southeastern Louisiana University | 09/26/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 4 CD set not only contains some of the best performances of the last century, but also works as a comprehensive review of some of the finest musical literature spanning from the Baroque period to Modern Avant-Garde. Some of the earlier recordings are better for nostalgia purposes due to the poor mediums of the times, but the performances for the most part are professional. Only complaint: Some of the best works (Wagner's "Die Walküre", for example) are only provided in excerpt form to showcase a certain performer or section of the piece. Otherwise a worthy investment for the price and amount of quality music that is presented."

An interesting mix...

E. J. Biddinger | Rochester, IN | 05/17/2002

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is a sampler in the truest meaning of the word. I bought this 4 CD work primarly for two tracks, but also because I was interested to see what else was out there without investing a fortune in CD's I wouldn't like! I was surprised by the wide diversity of music ranging from true classical and jazz to contemporary compositions and interpretations. While I find some tracks divine (Williams's _Schindler's List_), I find other tracks unsettling (_Beau Soir_ performed by Barbra Streisand). But when you are trying to span 100 years of music, you will (and should) encounter all tastes and styles. Overall, I really enjoy listening to this set. My only regret is that I don't have a CD changer..."

Very Good Classical Collection for Starters

G. Wong | Toronto, Canada | 12/05/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"It was a very good idea by Sony to put together a collection of the greatest performances of some of the greatest classical compositions of the last century. For starters, the CD collection excels at bringing a good selection of music from the Baroque period to more modern works of the twentieth century. I found the two booklets accompanying the CDs very helpful and interesting to learn more about the performers.Personally I found a few things that could have improved the value of this collection. Sony decided not to digitally remaster some of the early recordings such as the first track, a 1903 recording of Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia, which sounds great for a 97 year old work but terrible with all the hisses, skips, and statics. The producers perhaps wanted the piece to sound exactly as the original format but I find it a bit too painful to the ears. Another disappointment are the few songs that were included not for the quality of their performance itself but more because of the celebrity status the performers bring, such as Barbra Streisand attempting to sing Debussy's Beau Soir in french.All in all, this Sony collection is a good one and a nice addition for collectors."
