Great Music for a Long Drive
08/11/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This compilation of the Mad About series is a good representation of all the fine music compiled for the series. Many of the tracks selected for this "Best of Mad About" set are the more well-known ones -- tunes you'll recognize but never knew who wrote them. I recommend it for anyone who likes to listen to classical music but has a short attention span! The varied mix of styles will keep you entertained. Plus, it will give the new listener many paths to pursue in developing an interest in the classics."
Getting Past the Cover Art!

"Well I'm not sure who's responsible for the CD cover art, but once you get past that, the music included on this CD is a wonderful intro to opera and classical music in general, and a wonderful reward to those who are already aficionados (hope I speeled tht write). All kidding aside, you're getting about two hours of highlights from great masters and great performers. Put this on the player and relish the sound and the glory. Relax and enjoy!! I'd have given this 5 stars, but oh my, that "mad" cover art! Sorry...just not my cup of tea. Nor coffee. But ah, the music...."

"This compilation of the "Greatest Hits" of Classical music is useful for those who could use a "classical music for dummies" tool. It contains a wealth of some of the most oft heard and well-respected selections. And for those who arrive unaware of who composed the masterpieces, it is an education in itself. I hope to use this CD to inspire music appreciation in the classroom, especially for those who have been or are being deprived of these musical genius composers which are often overshadowed by the fast-food mentality of this generation's psuedo music."
