Bach and Mozzart music. this is not a movie DVD. I was in for a surprise when it arrived. NO romantic classic movies just classic music. Dissapointed in description. 25 songs and no shows. elevator music for people to listen to only. the cover picture is too small and blurry to read and description is not very descriptive. Warning!!!

25 ROMANTIC CLASSICS is listed in the MUSIC category and is clearly a CD. The item pictured here is from the 2004 re-issue of their 1996 series and has a redesigned cover. Contents remain the same.

The album's back cover statement "EDITED FOR LEISURE LISTENING" is quite accurate. These over two-dozen samples from the immense VOX records archives include a few older monarual selections. Sound quality throughout is top shelf as are performances.

25 SENTIMENTAL FAVORITES is an ideal companion to this collection.
