Fifty Shades of Grey - The Classical Album, a 15-track album featuring classical music personally selected by author E L James herself and referenced in her bestselling Fifty Shades book trilogy. Says James of the new compilation album: "I am thrilled that the classical pieces that inspired me while I wrote the Fifty Shades Trilogy are being brought together in one collection for all lovers of the books to enjoy."
This album aims to provide the perfect accompaniment to the Fifty Shades reading experience, setting a mysterious and alluring atmosphere with just the slightest hint of danger...the music on the album includes The Tallis Scholars' sweeping version of Spem in Alium featured in the first novel, along with 14 other works from the books, such as the ‘Flower Duet' from Lakmé, Pachelbel's Canon in D, the ‘aria' from Bach's Goldberg Variations and more. The recording artists include such world-class performers as Sir Simon Rattle, King's College Choir, Barbara Hendricks, and Alexandre Tharaud.

I haven't read the book but came across the cd through listening to classic fm. I immediately wanted to buy it but have to admit was put off by the negative reviews. Thanks to more recent positive reviewers I decided it was worth a go and I'm so glad I bought it. This is a lovely compilation cd that includes many of my favourites but which also introduces me to one or two tracks which I wouldn't have thought my thing. Many of the performers are renowned (Rattle, The Tallis Scholars etc) and overall the recording quality is good. My only criticism is that one or two tracks are a bit crackly and hissy - enough to notice but not so much as to be irritating. If you are looking for a compilation cd of relaxing, chill out music don't be put off buy it!

Horses for corsets
My bird prefers to flick herself off to a shuffle playlist of Peaches and Diamanda Galas, but each to their own, I suppose.
