Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Contained in five CDs in card sleeves, from the instantly recognisable "Ride of the Valkyries" to less familiar titles which once heard will still strike chords, 100 Popular Classics delivers exactly what it promises on the box. Everything here is tuneful and accessible, the selections concentrating upon such composers as Beethoven, Mozart, Puccini and Tchaikovsky. Other than that, disc 3 explores the 20th century with works such as Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings and Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, the music isn't sequenced to any particular plan. Indeed, with a Chopin piano prelude following Verdi's "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves" and Grieg's Norwegian Dance no. 2 leading to an extract from Bach's double violin concerto, if ever a set of CDs was made to go in a multi-changer player, this is it. The selections themselves vary from older recordings with leading orchestras, to newer recordings with lesser known, often East-European ensembles. There is no information about the music itself, but setting these discs on random play offers much the same experience as listening to Classic FM, but without all the chat, commercials and news bulletins. And if this leaves you longing for more, try 100 Popular Classics Volume 2. --Gary S Dalkin
