Good quality CD. We listened to Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery by Classical Kids and I wanted a CD with just the music. That's what it is. Vivaldi's music that was used in he background in the first CD. If you want whole musical pieces you'll have to look elsewhere. I went ahead and downloaded The Four Seasons separately because my children loved it the best.
