This review is from: Music of the Seasons (Audio CD)

I bought this 4-disc set at Costco a decade ago when it was still called Price Club, and I still listen to it. Each of the 4 discs contains music from a particular season of the year, and the compilations cover numerous pieces from all the styles of classical music; from Baroque thru the Romance period. Leading each disc are the appropriate parts from the 4-Seasons by Vivaldi. Thee are followed by pieces from composers such as Copland, Beethoven, Strausss, Mozart, Dukas, etc... Some of the pieces are quite famous, and should have been left out as most classical fans already have them; i.e. Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. The up-side is that this set also has a lot of more obscure pieces that are quite good; such as "Sleighride" by Mozart. Overall, this set provides multiple hours of good listening that is appropriate for a car ride, or while reading a book.
