5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Collection, December 30, 2003

This review is from: Bedroom Adagios (Audio CD)

I have heard many, many classical "mood" collections, and this is one of the best, with many surprise selections.
It is consistently restful and calming.
I recommend it highly.

Bedroom Adagios
The music is lovely. However, I am confused as to why one particular piece is played 3 different times on the CDs. There are 3 different titles, but the melody is exactly the same.
