Arthur L. from CARROLLTON, GA Reviewed on 5/27/2010... Teenybopper's idea of "frightening." Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor"? Exhilarating perhaps, but not frightening. No perfomance information whatsoever—clearly this is meant as anonymous wallpaper/background stuff. Bottom of the barrel for Denon, a disgrace.

Simply Wonderful! Nathan Mcdonald | 05/18/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I would like to begin my review of this wonderful CD by stating that I am not a "kid." (unless you consider a 14-year-old to still be a child) I am, however, too lazy too start a new Amazon.com account before typing about this great CD.
Now then... In my eyes, this CD recieved 5 stars because of (what else!) the music. The quality of the music to be more specific. The sound of it was great and the selection of the pieces was pure genius. My personal favorite would have to be a three-way tie between Bach's Toccata and Fugue, Dukas' Sorceror's Apprentice, and Stravinsky's The Right of Spring.
I will leave you tonight with one final thought... Is it just me, or are most of the pieces from "Fantasia"? At least 7 (!) of the pieces are from that age-old classic. I think it's funny that they are on a collection such as "The Most Frightening Music in the Universe". And could the cover art be any worse?!
All in all it is a great CD to add to any collection. (and cheap!) Thanks!
