8.Nocturne in F -- Chopin

9.Fur Elise -- Beethoven

10.The Swan -- Saint-Saens

11.Goldberg Variations, Aria -- Bach

12.Piano Concerto #2 I -- Rachmaninoff

13.Recuerdos -- Tarrega

14.Song Without Words -- Mendelssohn

15.Ave Maria -- Gounod (after Bach)

Some of the ID3 tags have the orchestra conductor's name in the composer ID3 field; most of the composer fields are blank.

I appreciate all the free albums and tracks from Amazon. I wish they were more careful with ID3 tags.

Track 5 seems to have some vinyl surface noise.

The price is right. Delete any tracks you don't like. They're mostly old warhorses. If you don't have any classical music in your collection, this isn't a bad start."

"A wonderful collection of soft and relaxing classical music. I am an average guy that owns no classical albums and is only familiar with classical songs that that are in pop culture. I recognized and enjoyed every song on this album."
