Rating : - Good intro to classical music
The variety of composers on this compilation is great. From Bach to Stravinsky and quite a few in between. I am not a huge fan of classical music nor is my knowledge of it wide, but I enjoy popping one of the CDs and expanding my musical repitoire. My brother who is a classical musician agreed that this is a great introduction to those who want a wide sampling of classical music.
