 Nice relaxing background music December 5, 2007
Met expectations for relaxing music to add to my collection of stress busting CDs. No virtuoso classical performances here, but worth the very reasonable price for an occasional listen to help you unwind.
"Going For Baroque" July 30, 2007
Whether you have cares you want to banish or not, you will delight in this CD. The album is perfectly balanced, and each piece moves seamlessly into the next, never jarring you to attention, but soothing you and leaving you feeling peaceful and relaxed. The album works well at the end of the day, but I have listened to it at the start of the day too, and it created a nice mood for a day just beginning to unfold.
I recommend this album for anyone wanting to enjoy a lovely, unpretentious, and relaxing interlude.
PLEASE BE AWARE February 25, 2007
The audio samples given here are from the Vivaldi for Valentines CD in this same Philips series. NOT Bach.
The Vivaldi was great, though.
Bubble Bath Baroque September 27, 2005

Light some candles, run a bubble bath, put in bath beads, pop this CD into your stereo and indulge in a bath that would mean you've pampered yourself in extremis. This particular recording from the popular Set Your Life To Classical series is a real treat for Bathtime, or in my opinion, anytime. It is indeed, as the title suggests, a relaxing serenade to wash your cares away. It is therapy, a perfect companion to a massage, reading a book, drinking tea, anything you can do alone to pamper yourself and to relax. Iona Brown, a female conductor, takes Sir Neville Marriner's place and conducts the Academy of St Martin In The Fields performing such works as the opening track - the Lute Concerto by Vivaldi as well as Track 4's Largo from the Winter movement in The Four Seasons, track 12's Concerto For Two Guitars by Corelli and the Oboe Concerto in D by Telemann. Also featured on here Oboe Concerti by Handel and Water Music Suite, and other conductors featured on here are Raymond Leppard and his English Chamber Orchestra. The Canon in D has never sounded more radiant than on here as it is conducted by Sir Neville Marriner and closes the CD nicely. A more relaxing way to take a bath you'll be hard-pressed to find. This music is gorgeous, it's affordable (on the Used Item section and the regular price) and is as always, a great intro to classical music and a fun, innovative way to enjoy it.
Cleansing Sounds To Wash Away Tensions January 8, 2003

This is pleasing, pastoral music picked to relieve that which tenses up our bodies and souls.Turn on this excellent baroque collection from the likes of Vivaldi, Telemann, Handel and Pachelbel (among others) superbly played by such virtuosos as Rampal, Holliger et al. Sweeping instrumental arias are so relaxing! This one will soothe the savage beast as well as those tired bods.
