Beautiful
This compilation is a must buy for any fan of classical music. I was astounded by the wealth of tracks it contains, all of them gems in their own right. It contains so much, considering that it is only one CD and costing what it does. To anyone who is remotely interested... buy it! You wont be disappointed!!
Music
The best album of classical music I have every herd and owned!!
Didn't know there was an essential 100 as well
i liked this album but for the same price you could have gotten the essential 100 classical pieces from the same company...
