Format:Audio CD
2 CDs with good recordings of 36 gentle classical tracks of varying styles which come nicely packaged with background information about all the music. A lot of the music can be found on similar compilations, however the tracks on this album are often slightly shortened versions which do not compromise the music and have the advantage of using less hard disk space if converting to MP3. With Windows Media Player 11 a lot of detail is added under track title which is helpful but frustratingly composer is placed under contributing artist instead of the performer.

There are lots of these "relaxing classics" albums around at the moment and they can all seem identical.
Already owning most of Classic FM's back catalogue in the "relax with..." series as well as several others, it might seem strange to buy yet another compilation album, but there are some absolute "must have" tracks on this collection that are hard to find elsewhere (Delibes' Flower Duet, Gorecki's 3rd Symphony, Pook, Massenet, and so on)
So, if you just want to own one collection of relaxing tracks - keep looking around, get the mix of tracks that suits you best. BUT, if you want to round off a collection with some truly lovely and hard-to-find tracks or just want a slightly more "off the beaten track" selection, then it's time to reach for that credit card!

Of all the multitudes of classical compilation, this one stands out by far. The selection covers every possible taste and mood, and is the only Classical CD that I would want in my car!

Poor Reproduction
I was disappointed by this album. The quality of the recordings in some cases is poor and piano music especially was distorting. Read more

Classical Music compendium
This selection is really little different to many others on the market, recording quality is iffy in places. For the money it is not a bad buy for a CD to play on car journeys.

All the classics (excuse the pun)
Great CD, all the familiar relaxing classical songs from adverts etc. Good value. The sound is nice and even so you don't have to keep adjusting the volume.

Is it the most relaxing?
The choice is rather an odd mixture and I found that one did NOT compliment the other in the juxtaposition of authors... Read more

if you only buy ONE classical album, buy this.
I have bought this for my son as well as 3 copies for myself as over the years the original tape has worn done and the CD scratched!!
It is the very best ever!
