Classical Bonanza 22 April 2010
By V. Pope
Format:MP3 Download
Brilliant value for money. Every classical melody you ever tried to remember the name of in one huge collection. The nice thing about a compilation like this is that you can sample and follow up on composers you might not have listened to before and maybe hear interpretations that are different to the ones you already own and love. Great for long journeys, long walks, quiet evenings at home, and (my personal favourite) revising for nasty exams.

This has to be the best £3 ever spent! When it says 99 essential pieces it REALLY means it! You must buy this album- so many recognisable peices on the one album!

What a fantastic way of gaining a wide range of classical music at an excellent price. One or two of the performances are not of the highest performance quality (literally just one or two - Pachelbel's Canon springs to mind) but the overall quality is fantastic. I have quite a few of these 99 most essential.... collections and have yet to be disappointed in a collection.
