Here is the deal with this CD-single. First you need to know how to appreciate the already-too-popular-but-not-less-beautiful Pachelbel. Then you remember those Rachmaninovian recurrent themes in his piano concertos. After you have used all your classical music formation to analyze Pachelbel and Rachmaninoff's, leave them aside. Then turn on the CD player with Nanes' Adagio. This is better savored when you have those unbearable problems in the back of your mind. The elegant, soft, lyrical mood of the piano and that impecable curtain provided by the London Philarmonic's chords will make you fly high, over all your problems, and the misery of this world. This is one of my best classical CDs. Do you think this too new-agian, mood-seeking music? Well... yes, so what? It serves its purpose: it touches your soul.

I love this music, just wish it were longer. It would be a good thing if the buyer knew ahead of time, the length of the piece. But I'm happy with it anyway, I just play it over again, it is so lovely.

I'll keep it simple: Do not waste even 30 seconds of your life on this travesty. Watching a TV commercial would be a better use of your time!
