Great soothing music!
The greatest soothing music for my 20 month old son and my 4 year old nephew to fall asleep. We use it so much that I had to buy a new cd and so had my sister. I give it as gifts and all the children have loved the music. The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

The Best Compilation of the Man on 2 Discs! Great Sound Quality Too!
The title very aptly describes this great classical guitar album showcasing some of the best ever works of John Williams on 2 discs. The track selections are great as they span the centuries from the Baroque greats of Bach and Vivaldi to the modern day composers such as Stanley Myers and York. John even flirts with Blues and Jazz-style pieces and they actually sound very good. In addition, ...

PLEASE BE AWARE
The audio samples given here are from the Vivaldi for Valentines CD in this same Philips series. NOT Bach. The Vivaldi was great, though.

Great Tracks -- Great Value -- Great Book, Who Can Complain?
Naxos is a fabulous label -- you will not get samples of the best classical music through the ages at no better price. These tracks are as good as any of the over-priced major orchestras and in some cases better. This is a great starter set for a beginner or anyone who just wants to "taste" the classics. If you prefer Opera I would suggest the A to Z of Opera -- most of the tracks on A to Z ...

This box selection is enjoyable
Cheers to those with drive to attain "real" music student status. However, I just want to listen to music passages I have found enjoyable over the years. There is no pretense of this selection being a student workbook of classical music for the serious scholar - it is just an enjoyable alternative to that shared by those offensively loud vehicles near me at the stoplight.

I feel it
Let's face it, many people have written about the technicality of this cd. Like many I heard this rendition when it first came out..I loved it. Then I got busy with life and the record got lost or broken and I didn't think much about it. Recently I have hungered for this recording and was pleased to find it available. However, reading some of the reviews I became curious as to whether there ...

Most Relaxing Classical Music. II
Beautifully done, arranged, and selected. All are very good performances, and there are many lesser known but wonderful pieces such as the movement from Shostakovich's second piano concerto.

UN-PC MAGIC
Just how un-PC can you get? It would be hard to get much further out of line with period performance thinking than these CDs of Messiah. Re-orchestrations (by Eugene Goossens) supplement the Handelian orchestra with a full complement of horns, trombones, doubled woodwind (including piccolo), a full string section (including a well-upholstered double-bass section) and a batterie of percussion. ...

Wish there were more like this
When I study I prefer to have background music. The problem is that most music distracts me (I either end up singing, playing air piano, or just day dreaming). It was the rare CD that actually enhances my studying. This CD is the only one thus far that has met and exceeded my needs.

Great music to unwind to!
I bought this CD to play while I am putting my infant son to bed. Every night I give him his bottle, read him a story and like to have soothing music playing in the background. This was a great choice! It makes for a great alternative to lullaby CD's. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a nice relaxing blend of classical music.

THE modern orchestra recording to have of the complete Water Music
Riccardo Muti's recording of Handel's "Water Music" with the Berlin Philharmonic, recorded in 1985 in DDD sound, is THE recording to have of the complete "Water Music" played by a modern instrument orchestra. Muti's tempos are so sensible and musical. There is a harpsichord in the texture, and the Berlin Philharmonic seems a little leaner than in other recordings, taking into account no doubt ...

Any fan of the harp will love this recording.
This disc, obviously, is not for everyone. If you don't like the harp, move on. But, if you enjoy the harp, this disc is a wonderful excursion in to the soft and soothing sounds of the harp, accompanied on most tracks by soft orchestra. The disc opens with Handel's 'Concerto for Harp & Orchestra in B-flat Major. This is 3 movements of beautiful harp with soft string accompaniment that is ...

Ultimate Classical Christmas Record of All Time
Sony, 2002
Breathtakingly beautiful!
Over and over we played "Die Menge der Engel" - - it is stunningly beautiful! The loftiness of the voices, wonderful. We loved the boys/children's choruses on many of the other pieces on the album. Duets by Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavorati - - magnifico! It is a pleasant compilation of traditional favorites and awesome classical pieces that are worth listening to again and again.
