 Most of songs were very goood March 22, 2006

I really like Baroque Music, especially piano. Most of the songs were good recordings. One song of special note: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring was a very poor recording on this CD. This CD was purchased just for this one song. I was a little disappointed, but the rest of the songs turned out great. All in all, still a worthwhile CD.
Wonderful collection of Baroque music February 27, 2006

Know who the best piano player of the 17th century was? I didn't until I read the liner notes in this collection. While all the music was written for harpsichord (since the piano wasn't invented until the 18th century) this album is a very entertaining introduction to a nice collection of Baroque masterpieces. Eminently listenable album.
 Lovely piano music!!! May 17, 2005

I absolutely love this classical piano CD. It consists of various classical pieces performed solely by a piano. You have the usual--Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and The Harmonious Blacksmith-- and numerous sonatas all mixed together. The songs are expressed so beautifully with a full range of dynamics and speeds. This is one of the VERY few cds that I like all the songs
