A bit of a mix-up....
While there are some lovely pieces of music on these CDs they don't match the titles. When I bought this 2-set CD I thought that maybe I had received Vol2. or something by mistake as none of the tracks match the information on the CD insert. I decided to check by listening to the samples here on Amazon discovered that they too are incorrect. Just to ensure I wasn't going mad I found the CD set on a US website and listened to their samples they were correct!!! I wish someone could explain.

Excellent Classical Compilation Album
2 CDs with good recordings of 36 gentle classical tracks of varying styles which come nicely packaged with background information about all the music. A lot of the music can be found on similar compilations, however the tracks on this album are often slightly shortened versions which do not compromise the music and have the advantage of using less hard disk space if converting to MP3. With Windows Media Player 11 a lot of detail is added under track title which is helpful but frustratingly composer is placed under contributing artist instead of the performer.

..the original and still the best
much 'relaxing' classical music is depressing, overly centimental or dominated by one style eg. Mozart - However this collection is a stunning exception - I am a classical music buff but if you left me on a dessert island with only one cd - this would be it - really really really handpicked choones from composers at different times, from different places. I had to buy a 2nd copy because my 1st cd seemed to delaminate - the fact that I must have listened to it several hundered times probably wore it out. Try to look for the 4 CD limited edition and dont be tempted by lookalikes - go for the real thing.

A superb collection, but shop around
There are lots of these "relaxing classics" albums around at the moment and they can all seem identical.pAlready owning most of Classic FM's back catalogue in the "relax with..." series as well as several others, it might seem strange to buy yet another compilation album, but there are some absolute "must have" tracks on this collection that are hard to find elsewhere (Delibes' Flower Duet, Gorecki's 3rd Symphony, Pook, Massenet, and so on)pSo, if you just want to own one collection of relaxing tracks - keep looking around, get the mix of tracks that suits you best. BUT, if you want to round off a collection with some truly lovely and hard-to-find tracks or just want a slightly more "off the beaten track" selection, then it's time to reach for that credit card!

Possibly one of the best Classical Compilations ever.
Of all the multitudes of classical compilation, this one stands out by far. The selection covers every possible taste and mood, and is the only Classical CD that I would want in my car!
