Having so enjoyed volume one of this series, I purchased this hoping to be likewise impressed. And I am.

This strays slightly from the first in not only having many of the classical giants works of the past, but also including the contemporary works of Rutter, J. Williams, and Horner.

The first CD introduced me to many composers which I was not familiar at all, and allowed me to followup and listen to more of their works. I now realize my progression into classical music has been maturing and am already familiar with many here included, however there are still many introductions which this CD provides: e.g. the beautiful piece by Trad, Duraflel, and Petit.

This strong combo of old and new, vocal and instrumental is powerful, soothing music.

I bought Vol. 1 of this series and was quite satisfied, but I have to say I'm more than satisfied with this one. If you can just mellow out and enjoy some great pieces, you'll love this CD. #15 on Disc 2 is almost worth the price alone!

I have listened to this CD for the last several years before going to sleep at night. I love classical music, and this is great music to help make my soul feel at peace and unwind after a taxing day.

That's disc will open You a wonderful, beautiful world of sounds, their harmony & emotion : you'll feel your heart full of
Joy, Tears, Love.
Good LUCK!

Beautifully done, arranged, and selected. All are very good performances, and there are many lesser known but wonderful pieces such as the movement from Shostakovich's second piano concerto.

Has anyone besides me noticed that this series of albums is basically the same selections repeated over and over?

An excellent CD of classical and modern classical music
Amazon was the only company I could find that had this CD
Thank you!

The selections chosen are, for the most part, to my taste, but the volume is comprised of fewer supurb selections, such as those masterpieces by Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart that were found in Vol. I.

Not as relaxing as the first volume. But still a great collection of relaxing music. The orchestra that plays the music in the CD is excellent.

This is a good mix of realxing music.
I enjoy it as backgroound for readiing.
