This review is from: For the Hopeless Romantic (Audio CD)

Of the whole series, this and one other (for Book Lovers) are my favorites. I love classical music but find much of it hard to listen to as the volume goes from soft to loud and back. This CD is a collection of gentle classical pieces perfect for background music during most any occasion. It doesn't jar at any point, but peacefully accompanies whatever is going on.
