3.0 out of 5 stars Pachelbel Canon- Baroque Favorites, April 16, 2001

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Pachelbel: Canon (Audio CD)

If you are purchasing this cd specifically for the canon-DON'T! It is a condensed version 4imnutes 20 seconds. I, stupidly, did not do my "homework" before making this purchase, hoping that others will not do the same...

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Baroque, June 4, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Pachelbel: Canon (Audio CD)

This is a beautiful album! One I have enjoyed since I was a child. Despite the fact that Canon is "condensed" (and it's still a beautiful arrangement), the CD as a whole contains some of the most professionally-sounding baroque music I've ever heard, not to mention it contains both popular and "rare" pieces. Overall, this is a beautiful, relaxing CD!

3.0 out of 5 stars Agree with below, November 10, 2002

Chuck - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pachelbel: Canon (Audio CD)

I agree with the review below: this CD is not to be bought for the specific reason of hearing and omparing Canon. If you see any other piece on here that sounds interesting, remember that classical sampler CDs usually are not the best quality recordings or performances, and sometimes can have condensed versions of songs.

BUT for laypeople - persons not studying music or are just browsing for a good background baroque CD that's easy to listen to without a boring program, this album will suffice. I recommend looking into albums with complete pieces as well if you decide you like this style. Remember sampler CDs are for just that - sampling. This is but a taste of the wide world of Baroque.

So, introduction to baroque, good; high-quality canon, keep looking.
