In response to the reviewer below, yes, some of the recordings do not have the best sound quality. But that's not what this is about, it's about great recordings of the century.
There are two discs, each with about 18 tracks, averaging about 4 minutes each, of excerpts and individual movements of the some of the most famous of the 150 "GROCs."

In the booklet it has a few interesting (sometimes not that interesting) facts about each of the 150 performances.

If you don't mind excerpts of pieces or isolated movements, this would be a worthwhile purchase, especially for the bizarrely reasonable price.

i did not buy this yet, but note: the cover says, "150 of the world's greatest" and "two bonus CDs included", but ... there are only 2 CDs total with 37 selections in this set. i don't know if it's part of a series or what, but initially i thot i'd be getting 150, which was appealing. 37 of the 150 = less appealing.

If this is supposed to be an album of "the greatest" -- I wasn't too impressed. The quality didn't seem that good and the selections, well, not all that popular to my mind.
