Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Time to Relax is a three-CD box set from Classic FM which "contains music that has been specially chosen because of its calming and soothing influences". In other words, it is very much like listening to the radio station's Smooth Classics at Seven, but with all the non-calming commercials and talk edited out. There's great music here, though whether one approves of taking individual movements from works as fundamentally different as Bach's Double Violin Concerto in D minor and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.5 and lumping them together as easy-listening background music is a matter of taste. What cannot be denied is that the performances are taken from high quality modern recordings on such leading labels as BMG, EMI, Conifer and Nimbus. Unlike many budget compilations, there are brief introductory notes for each piece and everything is properly credited, with such fine conductors as Nicholas Cleobury leading the Britten Sinfonia in Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on Greensleeves and Richard Hickox conducting the City of London Sinfonia in Finzi's gorgeous Eclogue for Piano and String Orchestra. In delivering more than three hours of gentle, melodic classical music Time to Relax provides exactly what it says on the box. --Gary S Dalkin
