5.0 out of 5 stars Best of a period, November 12, 2004

This is by far my favorite off all my classical CDs. One of the best pieces is the Canon in D which is over 7 minutes. I love that piece, but this CD makes it shine. It is filled with the best Baroque from many different composers. No matter what type of classical you enjoy, this is a must for your collection!

I've very much enjoyed having this CD. I love Baroque music, and this has a nice collection of composers. The recording quality is crystal clear. I've been playing it on my computer, while working, as well as in my car. It's great background music for setting a calm and productive work environment. Helps when driving in traffic as well. Don't worry- it's not dull, just not rowdy, of course. Many recognizable tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best collection I've come across on one CD., January 7, 1999

This review is from: Baroque Collection (Audio CD)

This CD contains a very nice collection of Baroque snippets from several composers of the period. The composition variety is good and I give high marks for the interpretation on all the pieces presented.
