This is a great box set for beginners (especially considering the price). The sound quality is excellent (unlike many other [inexpensive] classical CDs). Also, a wide variety of classical favorites are covered in this set.

It could use some notes about each piece in the CD booklet though.

I don't know much about classical music and have just started listening to it. I like this CD because it contained a variety of pieces and composers that I was somewhat familiar with. I think this will help me in future choices.

I ordered this set without really high expectations. I can't say that my ears are as discerning as others who listen to classical music, but I will say that the sound quality was better than I expected - for every track. That was a great bonus, considering the low cost for 3 discs. I liked most of the choices for the tracks too. I'm glad there were some slightly lesser-played compositions. Overall, this is a value that is truly hard to beat (at least, for someone who doesn't have most of the compositions already).

I got this for the variety, I'm still exploring my interest in classical & thought it would provide a good sample. Product came in new condition & all the music is as it should be. My only complaint is when I added it on to my computer. The discs aren't differentiated so when I add disc one tracks 1-12, it replaces disc 2 tracks 1-12 because the computer reads both discs as the same title and track numbers.

I received the package and received 3 cd's with the same music on each cd. Instead of 3 cd's of separate music, the package contained 3 cd's with the same music. I listened and ripped a couple of times to see if I was wrong, but no, they each are the same. I think the package contained cd 1, cd 1, cd 1, instead of cd 1, cd 2, and cd 3. So, although the music on cd 1 is really good, I am greatly disappointed that I did not get the other 2 cd's.
