I think this was the best $5.00 I’ve spent in a long time! There are 50 -FIFTY- SONGS on this album, that’s 10 cents a song! You don’t have to live for classical music to appreciate this album. I love this collection of music. I didn’t realize how many of these pieces are a part of our everyday lives within commercials, movies, tv shows, etc… as sound bites. Do yourself a favor and at least preview some of the songs – at least number 5 on the list and you’ll see. : )
Rating: 5 / 5
I just wanted to say how pleased I am with this acquisition.
As you probably know the London Philharmonic is one of the world’s outstanding orchestras, and the collection is pretty much every piece you would expect to be included, and then some. It reminded me of the proms concert I went to years ago, it has that same high energy music that really rouses and gets the crowd going.
You probably remember O Fortuna from Orff, from the Omen movies, and all the majors are are covered Bach, Beethoven even Handel’s Messiah.
Interspersed with this are pieces like the Gymnopedies, Peer Gynt, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik from Mozart, and one of my new favorites, the impeccably beautiful movement of Barcarolle from Tales of Hoffman, so a good variety of music to please every palate, from slow to meditative, to the virtuoso speed of Rondo Alla Turca.
Thank you Amazon for making this available at such an irresistible price. Hope this was helpful.
This is a great compilation of classical pieces. The sound quality and performances are extraordinary. The price is unbeatable and it was very easy to download the album directly into iTunes with the Amazon mp3 downloader.
