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.

Cost-conscious classics for the frugal consumer!.......2005-05-27

Wanna start with a "grab-bag" of familiar classical themes? Then, this box set is for you. Chocked full of selections that are known by the novice, as well as the experienced, "Piano by Candlelight Favorites" is a very good beginning set.

With the seemingly unfortunate demise of classical labels in the music industry, it is hoped that such compilations as this one might cause an upheaval in interest in the much-respected musical genre.

And with the dollar buying less than it did in the past, this presentation offers much value for the buck.

Superb sound and musicianship from a little know orchestra and performer.......2005-10-09

I am an audiophile and an avid fan of all types of music. This recording goes to show that great classical music performances are not only the domains of famous orchestras like London, Chicago, New York, etc. Franz Liszt is revered even today for his virtuosity as a pianist. He wrote music that is incredibly difficult for all but the finest pianists to play. Mr. Oppitz plays with the same virtuosity that I imagine Liszt did while never losing sight of Liszt's macabre sensibility. It's been said that Liszt had a morbid curiosity with death which I think you can hear in his music. I'm not a big fan of grandiose Romantic era music, but Liszt is one of the exceptions. Finally, the quality of this recording is masterful. There is nothing more disappointing than a crappy classical recording! While I've never heard of Gerhard Oppitz or the Bamberg Symphony, their playing is delicate, powerful, and perfectly in tune. Mr. Oppitz plays a Bosendorfer grand piano which is so solidly tuned and micro phoned that I have used this disk as my reference recording when evaluating new equipment in my system. The first few piano attacks in the Hungarian Fantasy are so full, rich, and quintessentially Liszt that it kind of spooks me out! My only wish is that more classical recordings sounded this good. Highly recommended!
