The selection of music is great. There are a couple of the cuts that are not the best recordings I have ever heard. But most were well worth the listening. And please don't let that comment I made scare you away from buying it. It is lively, fun, and the title explains it all. It is a mix of just what you would expect the word ROYALTY to invoke in a Classical Music compilation. I was expecting a gold gilded horse drawn carriage to appear in full suit waiting just outside the front door of my home. I love it.

I listened to the sound clips and knew who the composers were who I was looking for for wedding music. This is excellent for all stages of a nice wedding.

The theme of this cd makes it fun to listen to, and the liner notes are as entertaining as any of the pieces. A lengthy timeline lists humorous events concerning royalty throughout history, which is actually pretty witty. Another good feature of the album is the amount of music it contains: 28 tracks (75'18) of good recordings, for the most part. All but a few of the ensembles and artists are top-notch, and the repertoire spans enough time that the listener won't get bored listening to baroque for too long.

Close your eyes while listening to this and you will think your in the Kings Court!
