With so many compilation CDs billing themselves as being perfect for "romantic moments" or "young minds," it's refreshing to find a CD that attempts to do nothing but get your blood pumping. And Extreme Classics does just that; there's not a single Bach excerpt, and even Vivaldi's summer storm from The Four Seasons couldn't make the cut. Instead, we get snippets of Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" (from Die Walkure), the conclusion of Ravel's Bolero, as well as the finale of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. The "extreme" moniker might be a bit misleading (save that for Stockhausen!), but these are great cuts that will have your heart racing. The recordings by included conductors Leonard Slatkin, Fritz Reiner, and Eugene Ormandy are all classics. Crank it up and watch the neighbors complain! --Jason Verlinde
