Some of the ID3 tags have the orchestra conductor's name in the composer ID3 field; most of the composer fields are blank.

I appreciate all the free albums and tracks from Amazon. I wish they were more careful with ID3 tags.

Track 5 seems to have some vinyl surface noise.

The price is right. Delete any tracks you don't like. They're mostly old warhorses. If you don't have any classical music in your collection, this isn't a bad start.

I loved all the songs on this! It really has a collection of relaxing songs on it! It all comes together to make it peaceful.

A wonderful collection of soft and relaxing classical music. I am an average guy that owns no classical albums and is only familiar with classical songs that that are in pop culture. I recognized and enjoyed every song on this album.

Downloaded for free through Amazon (still think it's up for grabs for el zilcho). Great selection and nothing hinders it's goal. Pachelbel's canon, Fur Elise, and Ave Maria are the heavy hitters of this album, and have a good supporting cast of other songs for a nice classical mixture. Not a lot of other well known songs in the album, but well worth the price of free!

I downloaded this album when amazon was having a promotion. I actually am listening to it now...and almost every day at work. The music just soothes my nerve and probably lowers my blood pressure. It has most of the classical music you are already familiar with.

I was looking for a nice, relaxing album to fall asleep by, and for that purpose this album might not be bad. But, just listening to the sample tracks, there are at least two tracks which are incorrectly labeled! I am a classical piano player and have personally played and have the music for the songs in question: the one labeled "Pathetique Sonata: Adagio", while it is indeed an Adagio by Beethoven, is the second movement from the Moonlight Sonata, not the Sonata Pathetique. And the one labeled "Song Without Words", while it is indeed by Mendelssohn, should correctly be titled "Venetian Boat Song"! (The "Song Without Words" is a melody by Tchaikovsky!)
Maybe I'm a stickler for detail, but it just seems to cheapen the quality of the album unnecessarily; and would be especially misleading for those who are new to classical music and unfamiliar with the correct songs and artists.

I would expect more for content thats hundred of years old.
The selection is questionable, I dont find songs with bad audio recordings in the context of "relaxing". There is noticeable hissing and popping on a few of the tracks. I expected better quality.

I downloaded this on Amazon because it was free at the time. I personally have not really listened to this, but my parents told me they liked it. So, if my parents like them, it has to be good since they are quite hard to please.

Wasn't the best, but for free I can't really complain all that much. A few tracks that I really liked and a couple I skipped over. But overall, it is a pretty good and relaxing album.

Not sure how to review this item. It downloaded fine and plays perfectly. As to how good it is ...well...its music so I think that is up to you. Sorry I could not be more helpful.
