Customer Reviews

A great alternative to traffic updates
There are some great pieces of music to be had on this collection, and plenty to keep you just under the boiling point during the rush hour madness. CD1 (movie themes rather than classical recordings) will probably be the one most listened to but there are also some real gems on the Baroque and Piano CD's. There are some production and recording issues, with one voice or instrument clearly audible above the rest on some tracks but this is a minor niggle and one which shouldn't prevent you from purchasing (or better still, adding it to the wishlist)

hours of listening pleasure
6 CDs for about £10 can't be bad but this really impressed me - unlike some compilations that go for lightweight/woolly mini orchestration, the production values are pretty high and the selections on each CD are very impressive. I bought it as a 'one-stop' alternative to hunting/playing individually selected tracks from my existing classical CD collection and find it does that job nicely when I'm feeling lazy!

The King Of The Compilations
If you're looking for any CD's with movie music, this would be my first, and only, stop. There's something for everyone, and although stuff like the Indiana Jones theme is missing, and the opera CD (Disc 5) is a little week, the likes of "Ride of the Valkiryies" and "Ode to Joy" is just timeles, and best of all, immortalised by the films they're featured in, the compliment of all compliments to these films. It's very cheap to, I would highly recommend this.
