Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Open the wine, wind up the volume
A fantastic selection of all the tunes you've ever said "Oh.. that's the tune from the ....advert, isn't it? What's it called?" about.

OK that's a very trite comment, but you get my point. Pure enjoyment, without the intervention of the tracks in a single classical album which you have to pretend to appreciate if you're not to look like a Philistine.

An absolute belter..an education, and a gateway to composers you'd never heard of, (neither had I).


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Classical for beginers....
Not a bad way to relax in the bath and listen to some lovely mellow music-But it is not for the advanced classical fan.Everyone else would love it.The film theme tunes are abit cheesy....


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fine selection, but you may get better value elsewhere
There are many classical music samplers on the market, some better than others. Since Classic FM started running its various charts, the record industry has been able to cherry pick the most popular tunes!

There is a lot on offer on these four CD's, but ask yourself what you hope to get. There are, as I say, a lot of samplers on the market, and this is one of the more expensive box sets. You may feel this package may not offer you the best value for money - (see my review of "The Essential Classics Collection" - ASIN: B000038I67).

Here, well, you do get a broad, eclectic range of the more popular classics. Of course, what you get is a selection of the highlights from classic works - one of Pachabel's best loved ... Read More:


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - New to classical? Start here...
Of course, if you really want to hear the best classical music ever you'd need to get a set lasting a couple of weeks, at least. This is a fair effort mind, with four discs lasting over five hours; and it does a decent job of gathering together most classical pieces that have found a way into mainstream culture over the last twenty years, and splitting the sides into categories is helpful for the casual listener (Relaxing/Uplifting/Cinema/Spectacular). This collection is clearly aimed at anyone who knows 'Air on the G String' as 'the Hamlet Cigars tune' or Handel's 'Hallelujah Chorus' as 'the Messiah Theme', but there's nothing wrong with that. Also, including pieces by modern artists like Michael Nyman, Ennio Morricone and Brian Eno proves ... Read More:
