Customer Reviews:
the most relaxing classical music in the university.......2007-05-12
All my favorites. I can start the CD player, which is wired to speakers in every room of my house, and just let it play, along with "The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the World" and "The Most Relaxing Classical Guitar in the World." I enjoy an awareness of familiar and beautiful strains of my favorites all day long and never get tired of it.
My brother visited me recently and noticed it right away. That will be another order for this fabulour music.
Relaxing Classical Music.......2007-01-08
I was not really a classical music fan but I am now. I purchased this cd for my 14 year old grand-daughter, not knowing we would both enjoy the music so much. She has always enjoyed classical music along with all of the other teen music, rap, rock, country, etc.
Also, it really helped being able to listen to parts of the music before purchasing.
Stress-freedom.......2006-03-14
Perfect music to end the work day. After listening to this I can face the evening. If the morning is hard, a little at lunch time gets me through the afternoon.
Greatly enjoy!.......2006-02-23
I first developed a taste for this music a number of years ago when my daughter started playing in the orchestra. The reason I made this purchase however, was because I have a great deal of difficulty with anxiety and I was looking for ways to find help. I love these CDs. It helps so much to sit and close my eyes and enjoy the music. The CDs are full of beautiful music.

Customer Reviews:
I can name that tune in three notes.......2005-02-19
My family likes to put this disc in on shuffle and play name that tune. I wish they made more discs like this, only with more obscure works.
A Fabulous CD.......2004-10-14
The Idiot's Guide to Calssical Music is an awesome Cd for those people who want to have a tiny sample of all the great classical compositions. Track 61 and 63 are my favorite.
Mega-Sampler! This really does have 99 tracks!.......2002-03-20
Yes, this CD really does have 99 tracks. How do they do it? Each is about a minuet long. Some are longer, some are shorter, but you get the micro-essential moments of the music.
If you like burning your own CDs, then this is a great source for intra-track fillers, along the lines of They Might Be Giants' "Apollo 18" album, which has all of those short tracks on the end. The idea is to put your CD player on shuffle, so the short tracks get mixed in with the bona fide songs. The result being a very unusual album.
The booklet gives an explanation of the track, where you heard it (i.e. the Warner Brother's Cartoons, or on famous films), and where you can get the full piece of music. So it's a mega sampler CD.
I can honestly say that this CD is a great gift for the friend who has everything.
Fun Sampler.......2001-11-09
For the beginner. You will be surprised at how many of the 99 themes you recognize here. It is an easy introduction to classical music. Nice booklet too.
Useful........1999-03-22
Take it for what it is, a clever and useful GUIDE to classical music. No, it is NOT an uncut rendition of Beethoven's 9th symphony. It IS a cd that will jog your memory. You have heard many of the tunes presented here, but not always knowing what the work was. This is your chance to catch up with all the great classical music you have been exposed to. Cheap too.

Absolutely perfect.......2003-02-04
This is a wonderful collection of some of the most beautiful, relaxing classical music composed by the greatest artists of our history. My personal favorites, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Gabriel Faure, are well represented here. The selections are made based on their ability to relax, and transport you to another place. They certainly succeed. In these troubled and stressful times, we need to return to another period, to music that had the ability to transform and to heal. I feel that once this CD is playing, I don't need anything else to relax me. This is beautiful, timeless music, that will never go stale.
A Wonderful Relaxing CD!.......2001-01-04
This CD had much more than I bargained for when I bought it. I recognized many of the pieces, and was quite happy with my purchase. This CD does not lie. It is very soothing and is wonderful to listen to after hours.

The most beautiful music.......2006-02-16
I can and do listen to this CD over and over again. The tracks are compelling and wonderful. The music is so beautifully composed and performed, to experience it puts you into a calm and happy place.
easy listening in classicall.......2004-12-03
This is great mood music. This should replace one or more of your "easy listening" cds.
Romantic Music From America's Orchestra.......2003-09-02
Although many of John Williams' Boston Pops Orchestra recordings showcase music from popular entertainment venues such as Broadway and Hollywood, in Pops In Love the emphasis is on short classical pieces by composers from various eras, ranging from the late Baroque to the post-Romanticism 20th century.
Because the Boston Pops is the Superman to the Clark Kentish Boston Symphony Orchestra, it is not surprising that the quality of the performances in this CD is matchless, and the music here is suitable for romance-minded couples to listen to -- perhaps as accompaniment to a candlelight dinner. The 11 selections chosen by conductor Williams and ace producer John McClure are gentle, soft, and like love itself, at times wistful and melancholy. Some may even be familiar to movie watchers: Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel's famous Canon was heard in Robert Redford's 1980 film "Ordinary People," and Tomaso Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor was heard -- with heart-rending effect in Peter Weir's "Gallipoli."
Albinoni's Adagio and Maurice Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante defunte" (Pavane for a deceased princess) are perhaps the loveliest, if perhaps saddest, selections of this CD, which was recorded in Boston in June of 1985. Of the two, Albinoni's composition is noteworthy because it's not really an Albinoni composition at all. Rather, it is perhaps the cleverest musical forgery in history. Although it is based on fragments of an Albinoni piece, its true author was Remo Giazotto, one of Albinoni's biographers. No matter who wrote it, the Adagio is a moving, melancholy piece.
Ravel's "Pavane for a Deceased Princess" is also singularly beautiful, with a repeated melodic refrain that is gentle yet haunting, I remember this piece having been adapted for a one-man show starring the actor who played Officer "Gross" Grossman in "Chips." The melancholy melody provided a sweet yet somber backdrop to this actor's bittersweet recollection of his marriage and the death of his beloved wife to cancer. Listeners getting over the end of a relationship may wish to skip these two tracks if they don't want to be moved to tears.
The album also highlights Ralph Vaughn-Williams' "Fantasia on Greensleeves," a melody that dates as far back as the 16th century; legend has it that its composer was none other but Henry VIII himself.
Pop it in........2003-03-31
I'm not an expert on the subject, but I do know that this is a wonderful, romantic, classical collection. Good for anyone who wants to become more familiar with the music and composers. Also good for backround music during dinner, etc.
Outstanding Canon.......2000-05-24
For those unfamiliar with Pacobel's Canon for Strings in D Minor, the piece features three sections of violins performing the same music, each section starting several measures behind the other (think of a round for classical music). This version of Pacobel's Canon is the ONLY one that I've heard that has the violas pitzachatta (the muscian's plucking the viola strings) in the background, all the other recordings that I've heard omit them. The viola section anchors the piece with their rhythm, lending a sense stability as this piece soars.
This is the finest performance of the Canon for Strings that I've ever heard. The performance is incredibly complex as the musical theme intertwines with the melodies of the three violin sections. Heartbreakingly beautiful, this single track is worth owning this CD.

Customer Reviews:
The # 1 Adagios Album? No! But a good collection/compilation.......2007-07-08
I love the adagio. Debussy, Satie, Bach, Barber, Saint-Saens, are all favorites of mine. I have a large collection of classical, but I like these compilations because it provides a good mix of composers and artists without having to go through my entire collection and burn songs.
So, I ordered this after having seen the tracks listed and the composers and artists. I honestly expected to be blown away. I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the album is good, but some of the recordings are flat with bad mixing or bad arrangements.
Perfect example: "Claire de Lune" by Claude Debussy; one of my all time favorite composers, compositions (for piano or orchestra); I honestly didn't think I could hear a professional performance of this song and be let down, but the arrangement on this album is poor, leaning far too heavily on the strings, almost ignoring the rest of the orchestra, and falling flat on the overall performance.
Another example: "The Swan" by Camille Saint-Saens; another of my all time favorite composers; again, just somehow flat. The arrangement was good, but the performance just lacked that certain something, that passion that is obtained by some orchestras.
Overall, the album is decent; highlights include "Air on a G String" by Bach, the "Gymnopedie" by Satie (arranged by Debussy) is perfect, "Vocalise" and "Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini" by Rachmaninoff are both breathtaking, "Adagio for Strings" by Barber is hauntingly excellent, "Reverie" by Debussy (again with strings, but this time well done) is beautiful, "Pavane for a Dead Princess" by Ravel is as good a recording as I have heard of the piece.
I would still recommend this album for its wonderful assortment of composition styles and composers, but some of the songs are just a little off. It is really hard to explain.
The best explanation I can think of to explain the difference between this and a truly great recording is to say that this is lacking that certain "je ne sais quoi".
Still, for anyone that is looking for a large compilation of Adagios, the good outweighs the bad and even the bad isn't horrible.
