5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely perfect, February 3, 2003

This review is from: Adagios for After Hours (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful collection of some of the most beautiful, relaxing classical music composed by the greatest artists of our history. My personal favorites, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Gabriel Faure, are well represented here. The selections are made based on their ability to relax, and transport you to another place. They certainly succeed. In these troubled and stressful times, we need to return to another period, to music that had the ability to transform and to heal. I feel that once this CD is playing, I don't need anything else to relax me. This is beautiful, timeless music, that will never go stale.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Relaxing CD!, January 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Adagios for After Hours (Audio CD)

This CD had much more than I bargained for when I bought it. I recognized many of the pieces, and was quite happy with my purchase. This CD does not lie. It is very soothing and is wonderful to listen to after hours.

One of my two favorite adagio recordings. Perfect to read by, fall asleep to or to be with that special someone.
