5 out of 5 stars classic music CD.......2007-06-27

The CD was well represented by the clips on the Amazon website and came in time for our event. We did have a problem with the charge but that was taken care of promptly. Great service.

4 out of 5 stars Good for beginners.......2007-02-15

It is an excellent collection of classical music. I would recommend this CD if you have a friend who don't like classical music, since it has the most beautiful overtures and portions of famous artists. If you are a Classic Music Savvy you probably will not be impressed by it, unless you want to play the CD as background music in a friends gathering.

4 out of 5 stars Great mix.......2007-02-14

All the best composers! Over an hour of music. A samble of the greatest pieces.

5 out of 5 stars Good for first-timer.......2007-01-22

This is the first time I have ever bought a classical music CD and I was very pleased with this one. It has a good variety of selections. I would buy it again.

5 out of 5 stars 25 Classical Favorites cd.......2007-01-06

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars hmmmm.......2005-09-14

definitely not the best rendition of the popular suite.on the other hand,try finding another one.
stuff is edited,bludgeoned,rather.
tempos verge on comical.
rather disapointing,I really needed a nice version of the sugar plum faerie dance.
will probably stick to Wendy Carlos's,cheesy,runningly cheesy,blue cheese smelly,even,as it might be,still holds the original pace and campy pomp.

...not nuch of a cheese shop is it?
-it's fairly clean.
certainly not contaminated by Cleese!

2 out of 5 stars Good Introduction but poor quality.......2005-09-12

This is a good introduction to Tchaikovsky for the beginner that gives a broad sampling of his work. Considering the price, it's a good value if someone is just wanting to begin exploring classical music or Tchaikovsky in particular.
However, the sound quality on this albumn is quite poor and there are much higher quality Tchaikovsky recordings available.

5 out of 5 stars Tchaikovsky's Greatest Pieces of Music.......2000-09-04

Here are some of Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky's greatest works. His Nutcraker, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty ballets are the most famous in the repoirtaire. The Symphony No. 5 and 6 are very excellent symphonic orchestrations. However, despite all the good stuff in here from the Russian master, the performers and conductors cannot surpass the beauty and artistry that such Tchaikovsky music masters as Dorati, Markevitch and Ormandy are. So if you want quality Tchaikovsky, get those conductor renditions. However, for a Tchaikovsky beginner, these pieces will get you hooked. This is a good cd to begin with for a Tchaikovsky listener. I am a Tchaikovsky listener ever since a friend recommended his glorious works to me. I am a Mozart fan but Tchaikovsky is undoubtedly the greatest Romantic composer of all time. He combines Russian melodies (Russian dances, mazurkas, waltzes) and gives them a definite Western romantic feel. He was friends with such noted Romantic composers as Camille Saint Saens, known to create such marvelous music of the era- Carnival of the Animals (now popular through Dysney) and Danse Macabre, to name only a small portion. Tchaikovsky also adored Mozart and although he is not exactly a Classical composer, he greatly admires the beauty of Mozart's works. Three cheers for Tchaikovsky !

1 out of 5 stars great music poorely performed........1999-09-18

T. is my favourite composer but the interpretation on this CD is rather like a good effort in high shool

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......1999-04-18

I think that Peter Tchaikovsky is one of the greatest composers ever. His Nutcracker suite and Capriccio Italien are wonderful pieces of music, as well as the rest of his pieces! This CD is definetly worth owning if you like classical music.

        5 out of 5 stars "Reverie".......2005-12-10

        "The music I desire must be supple enough to adapt itself to the lyrical effusions of the soul and the fantasy of dreams." ~ Claude Debussy (1862-1918) ~

        Close your eyes and picture yourself in a faraway place so serene, peaceful and far from the madding crowd as you listen to this soothing and the most relaxing sound you may ever want to hear. These are the greatest, the most breathtakingly beautiful pieces and my all-time classical favorites. Think of the most brilliant classical composers in the early Twentieth Century - Debussy, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Ravel and Borodin. Think of one of the respected names in orchestration, Eugene Ormandy conducting the magnificent Philadelphia Orchestra. Think of the eleven mesmerizing collection of classical pieces on this CD. And what do you get? You will experience a one-of-a-kind musical and sentimental journey that would take you in a deep reverie.

        Two of my absolute favorite pieces from one of the most brilliant composers in the Romantic Era, Claude Debussy, are highlighted in this compilation - "Reverie" and "Clair De Lune." I could listen to these heavenly pieces endlessly! He was better known for his unique style of Impressionist music and most of his compositions were Nocturnes and Preludes. It has been observed by many musical experts that Debussy's music is the most important creation by a French composer since that of Chopin and he paved the way to a lot of emerging composers in the Modern Era. To me, his most beautiful and par excellence composition is "Reverie."

        Listen closely as you delight in the eternal beauty of Rachmaninoff's most famous treasure, "Variation 18 from Rhapsody On A Theme of Paganini," Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake: Act II," featuring Philippe Entremont on piano, Mascagni's "Intermezzo from Cavallaria Rusticana" and Borodin's "Polovetsian Dance No. 2" and "Nocturne: String Quartet No. 2 in D-Major."

        "Rodrigo: Adagio" was taken from "Concierto de Aranjuez" and the talents of John Williams on guitar and Louis Rosenblatt on English horn are the main attraction on this spectacular piece.

        The two traditional pieces on this superb compilation are "Fantasia on Greensleeves" (from the Opera "Sir John In Love") and "Londonderry Air" (Danny Boy).

        Talking about Desert Island CDs - this is one of them. A treat for your ears.

        Very highly recommended!

        4 out of 5 stars Romantic Favorites/Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra.......2000-10-14

        I have been looking for this CD for the past 6 years. I bought this recording on cassette when I was in college 10 years ago. The music is very soothing and relaxing. Each composition just flows right along with the next. If you are just starting out your classical collection this is the one to buy.

              5 out of 5 stars Wonderful playing and sound quality for a bargain price! .......2005-04-15

              Neville Marriner's version of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is one of my favorites of all time of Mozart's famous work. The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields is just superb, not only for Mozart but also for Albinoni's Adagio, Pachebel's Canon in D, Faure's Pavane, and Tchaikovsky's Andante Cantabile (e.g. these are my favorites on this CD). These pieces are played with exactly the right tempo and with such grace by ASMF. (I have another recording of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Von Karajan and BPO who play the piece way too fast.)

              This CD offers wonderful musicianship and excellent sound quality for a bargain price. What more can you ask for? I've given many copies of this CD for friends who love classical music; they all loved this CD. I'm sure you'll love it too.

              4 out of 5 stars Gorgeous. Deeply ..........2000-04-18

              Indeed I too had that marvelous Angel LP cited by Music Fan in Chicago. The superbly played Beethoven Contradances are, alas, also omitted on the CD reissue. However, what's left is terrific. (BTW, if you want Marriner's Beethoven dances, look to Philips Duo series.)

              5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous. Deeply satisfying interpretations........1999-08-07

              I purchased a collection similar to this one several years ago; at the time, the recording was on the Angel label. I bought it after hearing Marriner's interpretation of Pachelbel's Canon on one of Chicago's classical music stations. I thought then that it was one of the most gloriously beautiful pieces of music I'd ever heard; I still do. The entire collection is a gem. Only one thing would have made it perfect: the inclusion of Handel's Menuet from Berenice (included on my first album).
