ASMF, The Best Pachelbel Canon Performance!.......2002-01-15

I love classical music and this is one of my favorite classical music CD's which I bought for Pachelbel Canon which is my favorite piece of Classical work and the performance by The Academy of St. Martin's in the Field is my favorite, I first heard it in the Movie Ordinary People when they used Pachelbel Canon by ASMF as their theme and I have just loved it ever since. I have heard others also play Canon but I have found ASMF to be the best! The other Classical works are great too and I very highy recommnd this CD for any fans of Classical music and Pachelbel Canon!
