5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant collection, May 26 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best Classical Album in the World (Audio CD)

This collection is an absolute masteripiece for those who prefer to listen to extremely well performed classics. Covering boroque, classical and romantic styles these CDs are a mix of fragmens from such classics as Grieg's first piano concerto, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture or Rachmaninoff's Variations on the theme of Paganini. These CDs would make you want to listen to the complete works of these great composers. A stunning performance from such conductors as Previn, Karajan or Sir Simon Rattle and from performers like Nigel Kennedy, Jacquelin du Pre, Cecile Ousset and many more. This album is 100% worth its price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget what they SAY, Nov 9 2003

J. Garcia "rican161" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Best Classical Album in the World (Audio CD)

Many of these prior reviewers complain that the abundance of operas and vocals degrate this compilation. They don't know what they're talking about. These genres are what made Classical music popular in it's age. In that era the forum for showcasing "classical music" was operas! Hence why most of these works are lost in the shuffle. Most of us know Mozart and Beethoven's compositions by ear but there are so many other great composers that existed and these CD's will show you but a PIECE. But, fair warning, these CD's show only a small fraction of the whole movement (song). If you truly dig the genre you're in for a treat, investigate!

2.0 out of 5 stars Most Aggravating Album in the World!, May 26 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Best Classical Album in the World (Audio CD)

This CD is the first thing I ever returned to Amazon. It is an inferior product--selections cut off abruptly before the end, volume fades and returns in the middle of a cut...production values are pure schlock here. Maybe I should have expected as much from such a sophomoric title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this C.D. (if you are new to classical music).
I purchased this C.D. a few months ago as an intro to classical music.
