4.0 out of 5 stars Great set but I want more, January 14, 2009

This review is from: Classical Masters (Box Set) (Audio CD)

I had this as a kid, and it gave me a love for classical music. I am now getting a degree in music education, and I can say that these recording are quite good (for a VERY large mixed collection). It is not the London Symphony, but like the other reviewer said, the biggest problem was coughing.

My only issue with this recording is that when possible, pieces were shortened. For example the first movement of Beethoven's 5th on the Beethoven disc, is played with NO repeats.

2.0 out of 5 stars large collection, so-so quality, September 25, 2007

This review is from: Classical Masters (Box Set) (Audio CD)

This box set has a fairly extensive collection of classical music for the casual classical-music-listener (someone like me who just likes to have classical music on when reading or studying). BUT I wouldn't call the quality that great (e.g. one of the tracks has coughing in the background - I guess it was recorded at a live concert).

I'm sure that there's better out there than this, but if you don't care that much about the quality then it's not a bad deal
