5.0 out of 5 stars Truely Splendid! CD; "the Best of the BEST, Sir!", December 13, 2008

This review is from: 100 All-Time Classical Favorites (Audio CD)

This contain excerpts of the best parts of classical songs. Not meant to be used as a complete and full collection of full symphonies or operas. This is great for anyone who loves Classical Music, and want to briefly compare the different composers, either for their own enjoyment, or as a study of the arts. Great for a student of MUSIC! This is good for beginer or old timer like me; alike! But I found it extremely enjoyable to compare differing composers techniques and liked it to help my identify who is who, and their different styles. You could even use this to teach young children the different composers and how to identify each of them, good for teachers of music for all ages.

Horrible. A proper name would be "100 BITS of All-Time Classical Favorites". Do yourself a favor and don't buy it.
