This review is from: Ravel: Bolero; Smetana: The Moldau; Tchaikovsky: Romeo & Juliet; Liszt: Les Préludes (Audio CD)

If you've been looking for the version of Smetana's Moldau that all the Classical Radio stations play, THIS IS IT! Best version of Moldau on the market! I bought this in cassette tape version years ago but lost it and have been searching for it ever since. The Bolero is also awesome, (shades of Disney's original film Fantasia, the dinosaur story). If you like Classical music but are a novice like me, this is a great survey of varying styles by the best composers. Romeo and Juliet needs no introduction. It's fabulous.
