Customer Reviews

Lovely
It goes without saying that if you like Canon, you'll love this CD. It contains fifteen delicious variations of the Canon (and one Gigue). There are one or two versions that are bound to become your favourites. For one of the most repetitive songs around, I'm amazed to say I've never tired of this song. You know where it's going, but it's still relaxing and uplifting, whether as background music or to listen mindfully (try listening through headphones to feel ultra calm and wonderful!). Would probably make great background music at a party or wedding reception, shop etc. This CD is a regular feature on my CD player. It's great value for money too. There should be more like it!

Excellent
This cd of Different versions of Pachelbel Canon is just great. It is a very beautiful piece of music and being played so many different ways just adds to the excellence of it.

Endless Variety Here
This is great - but probably not for purists. If variety is the spice of life, variety certainly puts spice into Pachelbel's lovely composition which can become monotonous endlessly repeated as 'musak'. Here it is played by James Galway, sung by Cleo Laine, played by a string quartet, a symphony orchestra and a brass ensemble among others. In this form it is good background music. Put it on, and do the ironing or write that report, and it will make thngs flow along - and fill your head for days with that melody!
