5.0 out of 5 stars Cost-conscious classics for the frugal consumer!, May 27, 2005

This review is from: Piano by Candlelight (Audio CD)

Wanna start with a "grab-bag" of familiar classical themes? Then, this box set is for you. Chocked full of selections that are known by the novice, as well as the experienced, "Piano by Candlelight Favorites" is a very good beginning set.

With the seemingly unfortunate demise of classical labels in the music industry, it is hoped that such compilations as this one might cause an upheaval in interest in the much-respected musical genre.

And with the dollar buying less than it did in the past, this presentation offers much value for the buck.
