4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad At All, August 28, 2001
This review is from: Power Classics (Audio CD)
Okay I'll concede that for a classical music connoisseur, this may not be the best choice. But if you're someone who has just discovered classical music and are just interested in hearing some pieces you might recognize, I can't think of a better selection. This CD contains many familiar tunes (a lot of which gained their popularity in Warner Bros.' cartoons), and while personally I could have done without Ravel's repetitive Bolero, you might find it relaxing; I suppose its place on this disc is as well-deserved as any other's. This is one of the few CDs that got me hooked on classical music. If you like classical music, love it, dislike it, abhor it - at least give this one a try. It won't disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who couldn't enjoy this CD?, March 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Classics (Audio CD)
This is a great first classical CD. Mars is the quintessential power classic. Sing along with Verdi's choruses. Be intrigued by the Ritual Fire Dance. Enjoy them all!

This CD originally came with a "hidden" CD containing some of the softer sounds of classical music. This may or may not still be the case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classical review, September 9, 2008
This review is from: Power Classics (Audio CD)
OK, I didn't grow up playing in the orchestra or even listening to classical. This is good stuff. Gets in your bones. Play it on a long drive TO STAY AWAKE and lose a little ignorance along the way! Really!
