4.0 out of 5 stars Superb quality!, August 26, 2000

This review is from: Hooked on Classics (Audio CD)

I think is one of the best classical music CD ever made, and we have one of the greatest Orchestra directors: Louis Clark, is a well-done porduction although is a little bit old(The long-play disc was made in 1982) it goes on being one of the greatest CD's in classical, varied music, 'cause it takes you from a Potpurri of allegro music, to the sacred music of Schubert's Ave Maria, and the terrific final with a varied selection of Can Can style music

I have exercised to this crazy, funky, cranked up version of favorite classical tunes for years (decades?). Sure it messes with the original versions, but I still love it. I would much rather dance to this in the morning than any of the current stuff playing at the local gym. Fringe benefit: My young children were introduced to classic melodies.

This "album" was a constant throughout my childhood. My mother loved the entire series with this one being her favorite. As such, this was a very strong part of the musical backdrop of my youth. With the nostalgia, I purchased the CD for my 3 year old daughter to dance to. She loves fast music, and this fits the bill nicely.

Its heavy on synthesized beats, etc. so some may find it a bit cheesy for today's tastes (was great in the 80's) - but if you don't mind that kind of thing, its really a wonderful collection of upbeat, fun music.
