5.0 out of 5 stars Good bang for your buck!, July 29, 2001

This review is from: Famous Piano Music (Audio CD)

This box set is a must for anyone starting out on a collection of piano music. As the title says, it is famous piano music. But it does not just end with the classics like Fur Elise. Indeed, there is a lot of lesser known yet still powerful piano music included in this collection. I must confess, many of the composers were unfamiliar to me, but now that I know that they made such beautiful music, high time for me(or you)to check them out. Again, anyone starting out with limited funds should check this collection out. Dont let the affordable price fool you; these are quality recordings, including two CD's of just Chopin and Debussy. One does not have to spend a fortune to hear excellent piano music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for lovers of piano music!!, July 2, 2001

I'm a dancer and I have a lot of classical music, especially in the piano genre, but this CD is one of the best in my collection. I listen to it all the time. It has a lot of classics- Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin etc., so it would probably appeal to maybe more casual listeners or people who just love listening to great piano music. This CD has inspired me to start piano lessons, it's that good! I recommend it to everyone.
