CD Reviews

A wonderful compilation
G. Stewart | Chesapeake, VA USA | 08/12/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Based on a review of this set from an Amazon friend whose opinion I trust (and the fantastic price of about $15.00), I ordered this set with some excitement. Even if the set goes back up to it's normal price of about $50 it is worth it; but if you can be patient, hold out becuase the price does go up and down.

I was not let down. Every disc contains a mountain of music. Some of these discs are re-releases of some of the CDs that I already own and I can assure you that they have been remastered and sound much better than earlier releases of the same recordings. One disc in particular that I own has so much background noise that I can hardly enjoy the music, but the disc in this set, which is the exact same recording, remastered, is so much better it is amazing; I hardly believe it's the same recording, but it is.



I had recently posted a question on the Amazon discussion board asking for recommendations of classical composers; this box set was the perfect answer to that question. I was exposed to new composers, new compostions and different versions of recordings that I already own. This is a wonderful collection.



If you are new to classical, or are looking for new composers, compositions or recordings, look no further. Buy this with confidence. It is a welcome addition to my collection and it has opened my eyes to many new artists, which was exactly what I wanted.



I also ordered 2 other box sets from the same line and they are equally impressive, and at the price of 1 CD, you really can't go wrong. The other 2 sets that may be of interest to others are: Rhapsody in Blue - Ultimate Piano Collection & Rendezvous of Angels - Concert Collection



ENJOY!!!"
