5.0 out of 5 stars Quintessential Instrumental!, September 8, 2007

If you have been looking for a really fine collection of those wonderful AM radio instrumental hits from the great artists, movies, composers - this is a wonderful set. I love to put it in the CD changer on random, and just enjoy the lush and lilting music that takes me back three to five decades ago, when this sort of real MUSIC was played on the air and everywhere. Truly a treat for us baby boomers. Get it; you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instrumental Legends, September 21, 2006

Several years ago we bought this great collection for my mother-in-law, who's in her 80s, and while a lot of the music was familiar to me and my husband, she knew every song. Now it's one of our favorites, too. Anyone who loves music will appreciate this. The double-disc set contains many memorable tunes, from Hugo Winterhalter's "Canadian Sunset" to Jimmy Dorsey's "So Rare".
