CD Reviews

A Very Good (and cheap!) Box Set For Beginners.

10/09/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great box set for beginners (especially considering the price). The sound quality is excellent (unlike many other [inexpensive] classical CDs). Also, a wide variety of classical favorites are covered in this set.It could use some notes about each piece in the CD booklet though."

"I don't know much about classical music and have just started listening to it. I like this CD because it contained a variety of pieces and composers that I was somewhat familiar with. I think this will help me in future choices."
