5.0 out of 5 stars A Must have for amateur and veteran classical fans!, December 31, 2000

Perfect for getting acquainted to classical music for the first time! All the best pieces on one cd which makes it a stand-out selection in anyone's collection. Once you've heard this one, you will want more and the RCA Victor classical music series is highly recommended and affordable. For the die-hard classical fan, this is the perfect one to take along with you in the car or the office.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great selection, but quality could be better., December 25, 2006

This review is from: Classics: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

First off, this cd has some of my favorite classical songs on it. The songs themselves are great, and many are instantly recognizable for all those who didn't know their names.

The recording quality of this cd isn't great. For most people with average ears and average hardware, that won't make a difference. For the extermely intent listeners, the recording quality isn't great, and, while I would recommend any of the music on here to anyone, I just wouldn't reccomend this particular cd to those who high-powered hardware and are picky.

The music is great, the performing orchestra is terrific as well. Just a minor note that the artwork for this series of CDs has changed and does not match the artwork posted on the Amazon web site.
