5.0 out of 5 stars Pachelbel's Canon: Meditative?, June 20, 2002

Why not? I never considered Pachelbel's famous "Canon" as a calming bit, but it has a drawing in atmosphere to it. In that sense, as this version has me forgetting my surroundings, yes... meditative.

Bach's "Air" has the pensivity you are likely looking for, as does Mozart's "Adante."

The Budapest Strings and Budapest Philharmonic are well-represented here, as they are on all ten CDs in the collection.

I fully recommend "Meditation: Classical Relaxation, Vol. 1", but for twice the price, you'll get all ten CDs. Come on... you know you want them.

I bought this for use in my middle level classroom. It was good background music. I have also used it in my son's nursery.
