5.0 out of 5 stars great series, January 9, 2007

By	S. Fieg-Corkery "Homeschool Mom" (Oneonta, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
