5.0 out of 5 stars A superb collection, but shop around, 23 Jan 2003
By A Customer
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly one of the best Classical Compilations ever., 10 Mar 2002
By Mr. Iain G. Kerr "iain kerr" (Surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars ..the original and still the best, 11 Feb 2006
By A Customer
much 'relaxing' classical music is depressing, overly centimental or dominated by one style eg. Mozart - However this collection is a stunning exception - I am a classical music buff but if you left me on a dessert island with only one cd - this would be it - really really really handpicked choones from composers at different times, from different places. I had to buy a 2nd copy because my 1st cd seemed to delaminate - the fact that I must have listened to it several hundered times probably wore it out. Try to look for the 4 CD limited edition and dont be tempted by lookalikes - go for the real thing.

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a mix-up....
While there are some lovely pieces of music on these CDs they don't match the titles. When I bought this 2-set CD I thought that maybe I had received Vol2. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely very relaxing!
The music on this CD is pleasant to listen to, and the pieces are played so gently that you start to drift of to sleep sometimes! Read more
