Wonderful Combination and Program Order November 2, 2008

Thank you, Amazon, for such a delightful collection of classical music. Whether you're a casual listener or a highly trained musician, the compositions in this album will please you. You can pay close attention to each piece, or just let the music play in the background. Most of the numbers are in a major key, uptempo and upbeat; there's a nice balance, though, with some slow tempo pieces in minor keys (or the comfortable tonal ambiguity of Palestrina and Satie). I especially like the Haydn string quartets. The Palestrina Kyrie is very nice, too. The Vivaldi and Corelli concerto movements are workmanlike (remember, this is all subjective). The Satie gem is an old chestnut that fits nicely into the program order of this compilation. The Hungarian Dance recording is less satsifying to me. The Grand March from Aida is defective, at least on my download; there are dropouts and pops. Perhaps the folks at Amazon will fix this.

For those who appreciate quality classical music but tend to rock - or swing or twang - more often, here is a delightful sampler of well-done classical selections. Some are more familiar than others but all deliver a slice of class - well, classical - to the MP3 player. Bravo!
