5.0 out of 5 stars Mozart at his most gentle, March 22, 2001

This review is from: Mozart for Meditation: Quiet Music for Quiet Times (Audio CD)

This album delivers what it promises. Music for meditation. That may sound obvious but that is the albums beauty! I love classical music but usually have no idea who or what I am listening to. Many classical albums feature work from either a single composer and give a variety of their works or they celebrate many different composers and their varying works. It is the variety that can be the problem!! For people like myself, who have limited knowledge of classical music, how do we know what to buy? Often it is a particular style of music we are looking for to capture a particular mood. This album can be bought with the reassurance that what you get will play softly in the background from beginning to end and don't be surprised to find that you have drifted off!!! Wonderful, beautiful, music for meditation ...by some guy called Mozart!!!!

This is my 3rd Mozart album from this series and I am delighted with the choices. Not only are the pieces ones' that are not always bandied about on Mazart CD's they are beautifully orchestrated and played. The sound quality is excellent. Yes this CD will quiet the mind and the soul and do so by engaging the senses in a delightful and appreciative way.

I love this CD. Anyone been through high stress times and found a CD that calmed you to the point you could function? That is what this CD did for me. I listened to it in the lab and while I was writing my dissertation. Now I am looking for a CD for my baby and decided to look this up to find some like it. Really really enjoyed it. But I guess I said that.
