The collection of truly beautiful music from Secret Garden.  There are a number of ballroom dance melodies here, which appealed to me and my wife.  If you do not dance, sit back, listen, and enjoy!

This music is beautiful!  The performances are superb.  The recording is expertly done.  How can you go wrong?  I purchased all six of these CDs individually in the past at what I considered a reasonable price.  Now they're available as a set of six for not much more than I paid for one.  Had I known they were to be released as a collection at 1/5 the cost of purchasing them separately, would I have waited?  No.  These recordings have given me many hours of enjoyment already.  I considered them a good buy then and stand by that now.  If you like Baroque music, by all means listen to the Naive recordings.  There are two additional concerti collections available with other instrumentation, both worthy of investigation.  Enjoy!

This CD is a bargain, a wonderful collection of music at a very reasonable price for the quality.

The first movement, Vivace, of Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor bursts forth at the listener, like a fully present sun rise. Immediately the elegant echo effects begin as the two violins compliment each other, sometimes overlapping to create a tapestry of rich warm textured sound, always energetic and overty apparant. No sooner is the listener accoustomed to the refrain patterns of the two violins, than the patterns change and increase in complexity. In the second movement, the Largo, ma non tanto, the piece becomes a little sweet, a little sentimental but it is complexity that saves it from sentiment. In the third movement, the Allegro, we are treated to a robust and intricate maze of scales, interweaving, ascending, descending, taking us to the fully balanced and refined close.

The price is very reasonable for excellent music.

This is a fantastic collection of work. The title track, "Fingernail Moon", was a total hit with me the very first time I heard it, an immediate favorite. The only thing more charming than the excellent lyrics throughout this collection are the beautiful melodies and harmonies. "Baby I'd Wait For You Forever" will instantly appeal to any Paul Simon fan. I'd really love to hear a collaboration between Sarah Smith and Paul Simon, in fact! Whether you want to sing along, dance, or simply enjoy some fine music-art, I HIGH recommend this album.

I have been a Rufus and Chaka Khan listener for quite a long time.  And at one time or another I have purchased all of the albums in this set individually on Vinyl and CD.  I am so delighted to have found this collection.  It is truly a treat.  I'm familiar with every last song in the entire set.  And look forward to hearing them again.  Thanks to those responsible for assembling these this collection.  I know I'm grateful.

It's a very striking collection, especially considering the history behind the music.  Some of the songs are incredibly uplifting, and others incredibly haunting.

These piano arrangements are beyond extraordinary in quality and beauty.  Masashi Hamauzu does a great job of making these arrangements shimmer in the first truly pianistic Final Fantasy Piano Collection.  It is in this collection that there exists a piece called "Bisaido shima", or "Besaid Island", which is so beautiful that words cannot describe it.  It brings an insouciance to the listener with its flowing perfection.  The piece is basically the original with greater speed, and it is pulled off magnificently.
The rest of the album follows suit in excellence.  This CD is a great addition to any library of music.

David Wheatley has created a CD of gentle, healing, and extraordinarily beautiful music. His touch is sublime, and songs such as "Adagio" are wonderful, fully realized compositions. Just gorgeous!

This is an absolutely beautiful collection of music. Whether you hate or love the movie, the soundtrack is an accomplishment of its own. It ranges from joyful to extreme sorrow and everything in between. You won't regret purchasing it.

I truly enjoy classical music. The variety of music in relation to history both as a form of entertainment and art is fascinating. I am still learning and trying different composers and varying forms of music within the classical realm-Baroque, classicism, romanticism, impressionism. Then the various ways the work is presented-string quartets, quintets, chamber music, orchestra. What fun!

Which brings me to this 33 cd set by Brilliant Classics and Adam FIscher and The Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra-I have not listened to all the cds in the set, but what I have heard, I've liked...a lot! The performances are beautiful, engaging, spirited, involving, and a pleasure.

It took 14 years to complete this package-we, the listener and consumer, reap the rewards of this monsterous project. I have ALL of Haydn's symphonies for just a touch over one hundred dollars...amazing bargain!
This package is simply too good for anyone who enjoys classical music to pass up.

I will admit that I am a huge Haydn fan-I simply feel he is the most overlooked of the classical composers. Bach was a phenominal composer! Mozart was an extraordinary genius and prodigy! Beethoven a unique and gifted composer whose works exude passion. For myself, I choose Haydn-all of these descriptives and something else-his work never fails to move me. It never fails to amaze me.

This 33 cd package is a must for all classical music fans! A worthy addition to any music lover's collection.
