I purchased this album to load on my Amazon Kindle. It provides great background music while I read. Nothing too loud or obnoxious, just perfect for a reading background.

I heard this on some BBC channel and thought I couldn't get it in the US but I did and it's fabulous. People go by my office and hear it and never fail to comment...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not relaxing., July 12, 2011

I was looking for soothing classical music to play in an oncology waiting room. This was not it. The first disc had nothing appropriate, the second had some selections that I will use. On balance, though, the music is far too dramatic to be accurately described as relaxing. Perhaps I misunderstood the "chill" in the title, and if I did, please regard this review as inaccurate.
