4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, and so cheap!
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."

3.0 out of 5 stars Cover & contents don't match -- please note
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not that great, November 18, 2004
This review is from: A Celebration of Defining Moments in Recording History (Audio CD)
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.
