"I first purchased "Classics for All Seasons: Winter" as a personal Christmas gift. If a CD could be worn out, I would have done so. Not only are these excellent performances of favorites, the variety of the selections saves the listener from a monotony of only choral/instumental pieces. I was delighted to find the complete BOX SET to add Spring, Summer, and Autumn to my CD carousel. The musical selections effortlessly follow the progression of mood through the year: the sparkling sunny disposition of Spring; the color and sultry warmth of Summer; the melancholy of Autumn; and finally, a refreshing mixture of the secular and religious themes of Winter. This is a great gift for everyone on your list, especially you!"
