5.0 out of 5 stars This Uncultured Yahoo Loves It, December 12, 1999

This review is from: Mad About Bach (Audio CD)

I own and enjoy a good number of classical CD's but am far from an expert on what constitutes good and faithful performances. However, I can say that this CD is thoroughly enjoyable to me. My experience has been like [e-mail]'s, as many of these songs stay in my head, too, which is a great thing. A good bargain, too.

This review is from: Mad About Bach (Audio CD)

It is a better recording than other classical music CD's I've had, and is an impeccable execution of Bach's work. It led me to buy other "Mad About" series CD's of which I'll comment elsewhere. "Mad About Bach" is a fabulous CD of which I never tire. It is motivating. I have been listening to this "Mad About Bach" CD music for 8 years and still love it as one of my favorites.

This review is from: Mad About Bach (Audio CD)

It's nice to hear a variety of pieces (guitar, harpsichord, etc) on one CD. Some of these tunes I can't get out of my head. :-) END
