CD Reviews

It's an OK CD

E. Jeffrie | 02/07/2003

(3 out of 5 stars)

"There are a lot of classical music on these CDs, but the quality of the orchestra is not that good :(They need to improve the digital quality of the music, even with a great CD player the music sounds pretty awful"

A Bargain

02/28/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A great selection of classical music with good, pleasant sound. These discs are to be listened to and enjoyed; not analyzed and argued over. Just play one after the other for hours of famous pieces that take you chronologically from the Baroque through the Romantic period. It is an easy and economical way to listen to a fine general survey of great, timeless music. Plainly stated, a bargain."

Good start to classical music

D. Dubei | New York, NY | 06/11/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"while not the best and crispest recordings and best interpretations of the compositions, this is a good start to delving into classical music. it does require a learned taste to truly enjoy some of the more complex and diverse classical pieces and this is a good start."
