Please don't waste your money

As a musician, I just can't stand these albums. First of all, the artists aren't even listed. I'm pretty sure that Bach, Bizet, and Schubert are all pretty long since dead. I'm not entirely sure if that's even legal. Second of all, the titles of the pieces aren't even SPELLED correctly. Can you spell "low quality?" (darn! only two i's in Badinerie!) The bigger problem I have with these, though, is the principle behind them. This is like buying a book that went: "Romeo! Wherefore art that Romeo? When my brother Jeb was 14, he got his arm badly broken at the elbow. Anna Karenina threw herself in front of the train. Next, Scrooge met the ghost of Christmas past! A kingdom for my horse!" Are those all famous quotes from famous individual works? sure. Did reading those quotes in succession do anything for you? I doubt it. You may be able to recite quotes from famous novels, but if you don't understand the point of those novels, there's no purpose in knowing anything about them at all - It's like reading the back cover of the book just to know what happens in the exciting parts. The same is true with music. Almost all of these pieces are WONDERFUL to listen to, but itunes is ripping you off by making you pay $20 to listen to a 2 minute clip of the melody from each one (especially when some of them aren't even the famous melodies). For example, they give you 4 minutes of the adagietto from Mahler's 5th symphony (see track 11). What a fantastic piece! Isn't the little clip they give you beautiful? The piece lasts for almost an hour and fifteen minutes of breathtaking beauty, excitement, drama, and powerful emotional upheaval, but with your $20 you only got to listen to 4 minutes of it. Why not spend $9 and get the whole thing with a fantastic orchestra? You can listen to it for years and YEARS, and hear something new and wonderful and amazing every single time. Though buying something like this will get you a larger *volume* of work for you to be familiar with, you won't really get to experience how wonderful so much of this music is because you're simply buying 2 and 3 minute snippets. Classical music isn't meant to be an instant gratification kind of thing - you cannot really appreciate this stuff by listening to it for 8 minutes on the way to work - but if you can take a leap of faith, and spend half an hour listening to a Mahler Symphony, a Tchaikovsky suite or piano concerto, a Brahms Symphony, or cycle of Schumann songs, you will find an unbelievable wealth of emotions and feelings within the music that cannot be experienced any other way.

Something's wrong with the track listing

Wrong title to the wrong song, I am pretty sure not all, but at least of those pieces I do know! Not a mistake I am willing to endure.

Waste of money.

I only bought one song, but I can tell that it's a terrible album. Poorly recorded, and you only get part of every song. This is the only time in over two hundred purchases I've wanted my money back. I'm disgusted with the producers of this album.
