Mill. Classical review.......2007-05-13

This is a great set of recordings for the money, the only problem was I've had to clean some of the CD's before they played correctly.

classical music for the unitiated.......2007-04-01

This set is a good way to start listening to classical music. It's very well produced and easy to listen to. I purchased it to use as part of my world history high school class. It would have been nice to have some bio information on the composers. However, the product is exactly as advertised and good value for the money. The students were intrigued by how many of the excerpts they had heard before.

Some little gems there that I had forgotten!.......2007-03-30

Although I studied classical music at school, I had all but forgotten it until I bought this set. I heard several tracks I haven't heard for over 30 years, and I had been humming Brahms's 'Hungarian Dance no. 5' for years without ever knowing what it was and it was on the disc, so that was nice.

I found it to be a very good selection overall, but I felt too much had already been heard on TV, which of course is what lots of newcomers to classical music might appreciate. I managed to find about 2 hours of tracks that I wanted to keep, which works out quite expensive per disc, but I did find some wonderful music I had completely forgotten about, so it was worth it. All in all, it represents good value, and I have only knocked one star off as so much of it had been used in adverts.

It is definitely a good introduction to classical music, and it has made me want to listen to more of it, so I don't regret this 'expensive' purchase one bit!

Classical Masterpieces of the Millennium [20 CD Set]

A very helpful collection.......2007-03-24

I define this set as an excellent way to find out who you like, and who you don't, among 20 of the important composers. It opens the door to purchasing more complete pieces by composers you do like, and can save a lot of time and money in the process.
To criticize the set for not containing more composers, or more than just snippets of those who are in the set, is missing the point: it is a helpful introduction to finding your way in the huge maze of classical music. It succeeds admirably in this.
Sound quality is uniformly very good on an audiophile system.
Highly recommended.

Excellent!.......2007-03-08

A great way to start a classical music collection. It's nice to have a full CD of each composer. It makes it easy to keep track of selections/composers I already have and what composers I still need to puchase to complete my collection.

Customer Reviews:

A wonderful way to start a classical collection.......2006-10-20

These five discs are the first in a series of ten CDs that have what are considered to be the most famous and best known classical masterpieces of all times. It has most of those songs that everybody knows, and here and there a song that's familiar, but you didn't know who was the composer. It's a great collection to use to start your classical collection, because from these occasionally shortened clips you can move on to the "real deal" and discover lots of great music along the way.

My only issue with this was that there was an entire disc devoted to Mozart, and thus other less-known composers, who are just as good, got no mention at all. Everyone knows who Mozart is, but few know of Telemann, Spohr, etc. I feel that there should have been a few more pieces by less known composers in place of an entire disc of Mozarts music.

A Bargain.......2004-02-28

A great selection of classical music with good, pleasant sound. These discs are to be listened to and enjoyed; not analyzed and argued over. Just play one after the other for hours of famous pieces that take you chronologically from the Baroque through the Romantic period. It is an easy and economical way to listen to a fine general survey of great, timeless music. Plainly stated, a bargain.

It's an OK CD.......2003-02-07

There are a lot of classical music on these CDs, but the quality of the orchestra is not that good :(

They need to improve the digital quality of the music, even with a great CD player the music sounds pretty awful

good start to classical music.......2002-06-11

while not the best and crispest recordings and best interpretations of the compositions, this is a good start to delving into classical music. it does require a learned taste to truly enjoy some of the more complex and diverse classical pieces and this is a good start.

Truly enjoyable.......2002-05-16

I don't know if one could say that these are the "definitve" recordings of classical works, but they are certainly good, and are a great way for people to discover the titles and composers of some of the great familiar works, even if they are untutored, as I am. Two questions though: where are the next five volumes? I have the first 50 works here, but there must be 50 more somewhere? Also, did nobody but Mozart write great works from 1776-1785? One volume is nothing but Mozart.

This set collects six single releases (all transfers of recordings, originally released on LP, made from 1965 to 1968) at a reduced price. They show Brendel at his best and worst. The Chopin polonaises have integrity and some imagination--more like treatises on Chopin than convincing performances. Nobody will confuse Brendel's Liszt with the flash and excitement of Cziffra or Horowitz, but he has a good time with these showpieces and even inserts a cadenza of his own into the Second Hungarian Rhapsody. He also plays free with the text of the Mozart concerto's slow movements; all pianists should embellish these scores, which Mozart just regarded as outlines. These concertos are excellent, although the small orchestra still sounds a bit bloated, perhaps due to hall acoustics. The disc of Mozart solo music shows why the pianist sometimes earns the derisive nickname Brendull; he drains the drama from Mozart's most dramatic sonata and leaves the other pieces sounding uneventful. Brendel's Schubert is superb; heart and mind meet in ideal balance, probing intellect bringing out meaningful details in the context of deeply emotional music making. The thrilling march at the heart of Schumann's fantasy is much too subdued, but the rapturous playing of the finale makes up for a lot, and the Symphonic Études are quite powerful and committed, although lacking the posthumously published variations. All in all, a mixed bag, but a fascinating portrait of a major artist. --Leslie Gerber
