Excellent contemporary classical collection.

Nothing New In This Anthology

"I first fell under the spell of David Lanz's new age piano stylings when I purchased 1996's SACRED ROADS. At that time Lanz had already been recording for more than a decade. In 2002 I picked up the 2-disc anthology ROMANTIC: THE ULTIMATE DAVID LANZ NARADA COLLECTION. At 27 tracks and two hours of music, it was a nearly flawless compilation. Three years later Narada lifts ten tracks from that album and calls it BEST OF. The music is, of course, excellent; but it's nowhere near as complete--or satisfying--as ROMANTIC. Not only is the 2-disc collection a better buy, it makes BEST OF unnecessary."

Intricate, Relaxing, Long-Lasting Collection

"A friend gave me The Best of David Lanz for my birthday several years ago, and even now I listen to this album all the way through at least once a week. I listen over dinner, while working, in the car; it's a fantastic compilation of intricate, relaxing music.



I later purchased David Lanz's two-disc Romantic collection, which has many of the same tracks. This album soundly outperforms the Romantic collection by keeping only the truly incredible pieces and ordering the tracks into a smoothly flowing whole."
