5.0 out of 5 stars Don't know much about..., June 26, 2006

...classical music but I know what I like. This recording is to be listened exactly as the title suggests...on a stormy weekend. I have always love musical performances that made my hair stand on the back of my neck and these pieces certainly do that. The strength and powerful Mendelssohn piece will relax and excite at the same time. I know it may sound impossible but classical music will do just that (at least for me). Don't let the price fool you, these recordings sound just fine if you have a regular stereo system or personal player.

I just want to second the earlier review here. I purchased this only in a whim last year and it is, indeed, music for your "internal world"-atmospheric and great listening when you're alone in your home or car late, late at night, or indeed, if there is a weekend storm brewing outside your window...
