A cut above the rest
I have a lot of Classic FM compilations but I think this is better than any of those, though it probably won't sell as well because it's not got the Classic FM backing. Several friends who have called by have been hooked by this in the background and bought it themselves. Some lovely music, 58 assorted tracks essentially a mixture of pure classical and modern film scores: Lord of the Rings, Barber, Chopin, Gershwin, Tan Dun, Lloyd Webber, Satie, Debussy and Vivaldi all rub shoulders in companionable celebration of the beauty of music which can touch the emotions. Sure some pieces are almost too well known to Classic FM listeners, as with any compilation, but this mix seems to work. I could listen to these 4 CDs for days on end - in fact I have!
beautiful music
I am new to classical music as I am a rock/pop chick really. I wanted a gentle introduction to classical music and I saw this in the shop so I bought it. Some of the songs are beautiful, very moving. I cannot stop listening to it, it sounds beautiful. If you are new to classical music then I would say this is a great album to buy. I cannot comment on if you are a big established classical music fan because I do not know.
Beautiful
You don't have to be a classical fan to appreciate this amazing music. I have over 1000 albums and this one sits at the very top.
