If you can gag your way past the album title, this is a most pleasant collection of beloved classical piano pieces that actually is relaxing, I suppose.

...some of it isn't so relaxing. Some of the pieces are so fast and dramatic that you want to skip the song. CHOPIN: Ballade No. 1 is a prime example. This piece is what you might hear in a restaurant to encourage you to eat faster! Some of the songs have orchestral accompaniment, which I didn't expect considering the title, but very good none the less. Included in this collection is RACHMANINOFF: Piano Concerto No. 2, the song Eric Carman based his 'All By Myself' pop song from the 70's on.

I purchased this item from the Amazon MP3 store. Now I'm no snob when it comes to classical music, or I wouldn't be purchasing collections of music rather than full pieces. However I would like to have some idea who performed the music. On each piece in this collection, the artist is identified as "The Most Relaxing Classical Piano in the Universe". No specific pianists or orchestras are listed at all. In addition, the files have nothing in the composer field. It's just blank. However, the composer's name is listed...in the name field. Just before the name of the piece. This just seems lazy to be honest. Nothing wrong with the music, but I prefer some honest effort to create proper files and I like to know who the performers I aam listening to are. [...] No famous performers at all, but at least they get their name listed.

Great to get 2 CDs for the price, but a little disappointed in I wish more of the songs were more popular. I only liked about 6 of the songs out of the 2 CDs.

it is what it says, relaxing classical music of the best kind.
everybody should have it. Can be listened to in any circumstance.

I love this CD. It's nice to listen to at night to go to sleep, as background music while you work or cook, or just to enjoy. I highly recommend it. I just wish the title wasn't so cheesy! I almost didn't buy it for that reason (I was afraid the CD would be cheesy, too).

I was hoping to find some nice calming, relaxing music to play in my classroom and home. This was a little too instrumentally loud.

I love, love this CD. It is very relaxing. I would buy this CD for a gift in a heartbeat. Did I say that I love this CD...
