This review is from: A Baroque Weekend (Audio CD)

This wonderful CD is a collection of ten "Baroque hits." Sporting twelve tracks, it has an excellent, reflective quality that makes it great listening. Indeed, as the cover suggests, listening to it while soaking in a relaxing bath is an excellent idea!

I found the quality to be excellent and the choice of tunes perfect. I highly recommend this CD to all Baroque fans.

Since it doesn't appear here, the twelve tracks ate:

Albinoni, Tomaso - Adagio in G Minor

Johann Pachelbel - Canon and Gigue in D

Antonio Vivaldi - Echo Concerto - Allegro

Antonio Vivaldi - Echo Concerto - Larghetto

Antonio Vivaldi - Echo Concerto - Allegro

Henry Purcell - Chacony in G Minor

Johann Sebastian Bach - Air from Suite #3 in D Major

Johann Sebastian Bach - Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring

Johann Sebastian Bach - Badinerie

Jean-Philippe Rameau - Tambourin in A Major

Jean-Joseph Mouret - Premiere Suitte de Fanfares

Marc-Antoine Charpentier - Prelude from Te Deum
