It's Very Nice September 13, 2008
I agree with the first two reviewers. A very nice collection of very good performances of some classic classical music that is soothing and doesn't sound like the German air force is attacking from out of the clouds. It is soothing music to have in the background for reading or other situations where you want ambient unobtrusive background music.
Great performances of sublime music November 27, 2001

This has to be one of the best albums of recent years.This disc contains perhaps the definitive versions of Barber's Adagio for Strings(L.A.Philharmonic under Bernstein)and Mahler's Adagietto from the 5th Symphony.Goren Sollscher does a great version of Rodrigo's Aranjuez Concerto(2nd movement).The Albinoni Adagio is also perfectly played.The Thomas Tallis Fantasia of Vaughan Williams is a remarkable work.The Elgar Elegy,Tchaikovsky's Serenade,and the orchestrated version of a Beethoven quartet are also great recordings.Duetsche Grammophone pulled out all the best from their catalogue to make this tremendous compilation.I'm surprised this disc hasn't received more attention.Oh well,a loss for those don't have it.I'm on my second copy.

This is a wonderful CD that moves the heart and soul. It can be used for deep healing and/or moving through painful emotional time in your life. Most of the selections are very up lifting to the heart and soul. The music selections are simple wonderful and speak to what is right and good about people. It is a great CD for Music Therapist or traditonal Counselors. I give it as a gift to friends and family members that I care about.Tom
