 There is nothing better. March 28, 2001

I just bought this CD last week, and have listened to it non-stop. This is a must buy for anyone who is a fan of Johann Pachelbel, track number 1 Cannon in D is probably the most romantic piece of music of anytime. I have never heard any thing more beautiful, and if you are not a huge fan of classical music..give this CD a chance and you will be.
 Not so great March 20, 2001

Some of the arrangements on this CD are pretty good, but some are not. I get the feeling the producers needed to "fill" some, so they took some synthesizers and used those versions.I wonder where is the origanal organ version, or the string quartet version? its a sad thing that these versions are missing. I would keep to one or two favourite versions rather than the addle of those on this CD. This CD might be good for those obsessed, those looking for some better version of the cannon than what they have (the string quarted is by far one of the best), or people who have an interest in music and intend to compare and listen. Personally, I'd buy many, many other CDs first, though this one was interesting.
One Of My Favorite Pachabel Compilations. March 8, 2001

I have owned this recording for several months and have play it time and time again. I have to admit, I am not crazy about the Track 5 with the words and at times it can disrupt the flow of relaxation to hear someone softly singing but it isn't a disruption that merits a lower rating. I often use classical and instrumental music to not only relax to but I use it for control of chronic pain. Pachabel is one of my favorite composers and this CD didn't let me down.

This CD is a masterpeice of the music world. Many of these reviews believe that track 5 was a bit of a dissapointment. I must admit that though I didn't care to much for track 5, the person who sang it has a lovely voice and really did a good job singing it. I must say that it was not the end of the world for the lovely little spot of music, but it probably could have fit in a bit of different place, or sounded a tad different. Having it in this CD was a bit of a bother, and if you listen carefully, the actual version of the song behind the pleasent singing would have done just fine without the beautiful vocal part.
 I've heard better arrangements September 26, 2000

Don't get me wrong -- I still love it, but I;ve heard such beautiful arrangements of this piece that even though the piece itself makes the music good, I was dissapointed by the arrangements. However, A friend of mine who wasn't familiar with Pachabel thinks it's wonderful ... as for me, I'm going to shop again for this one.
