Customer Reviews
Good music
@hi hello my name is. I try to be understanding with other people's music tastes. But when you are trying to make rap more musical than classical music you seem like a moron. I understand that you are entitled to your own opinion but you can't deny the musicality of orchestral music. It may not be your favorite, but it still is music. I personally think that rap is the least MUSICALLY demanding genre. As far as music goes in rap, it is USUALLY (at least in more popular rap and hip hop) simple beats or computer generated music. The lyrics are very trying however and anyone that can do freestyle is extremely talented.
Now for a review.
Keep in mind I did not purchase this. However I do have the original 50 most essential pieces of classical music album. It seems that they kept with famous pieces, composers, and symphonies and orchestras. However I found many carry over pieces from the first and a few within this one album. There are songs that part of the full piece is already on the first. A full song is on both (canon). There are also several exerpts from the same piece throughout this album. If you haven't purchased the first collection, consider this one. But I still prefer the former over the latter
Some of the Best Master Pieces !
Loved each and every single track of this album. This is one of the best classical compilations I came across in some time now. It is an absolute must have in the collection of Classical music lover !!!
Breath Taking!
This album is beautifully done!
A must have for any iPod, and btw Canon in D is freakin' amazing.
