This CD along with the others in the series is very good. So far we have collected about ten different ones. They are thorough and interesting. I homeschool and it has been a great additon to our teaching materials and tools. The narrarated history format interspersed with the composer's music is key to keeping the interest of the children. A must-have for introducing classical music with historical background to your kids and at a great price on Amazon!

We have ordered and used a few of this series cd's only to find that they all have points within the narration where the voice is edited out in the middle of the sentence, making the program incomplete, difficult to follow and nonsensical. The musical aspect is often a nice variety of the composers work but with the incomplete narration, you learn little and leave your audience frustrated.

I bought several of the CDs from this series for homeschooling this year, and they've been an easy non-painful way to learn about composers and to become familiar with their music. They are a bit old fashioned, but not too much so. I have not noticed any spots with edited out narration in any of the CDs, as the other reviewer described.
