5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" recording, January 10, 1999

This is a beautiful collection of some of the finest musical pieces by the greatest composers. It is a great introduction to new classical enthusiasts and is a welcome addition for veteran classicists. I bought it years ago in vinyl and can't live without it. Just added the CD to my collection again.

I grew up listening to this record and have been searching for it for years. I'm so happy I have found it here because my record is wearing out and this is a must for everyone's cd collection.

I first heard this LP when we were in Toronto in the 1980's. I LOVED it then and I bought the LP. Now I have the CD and listen to it often. I never tire of it. Absolutely wonderful to listen to (over and over again). It is a perfect gift to give to friends and relatives. It is "my soul's" music.
