This review is from: Sunday With the Times (Audio CD)

This 4-CD set contains highlights--generally the best-known sections--of popular works by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Copland, Debussy, Dvorak, Grieg, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Pachelbel, Puccini, Saint-Saens, Schubert, Strauss Jr., Tchaikovsky, Verdi, and a few others. All selections are instrumental; there are no choral works included. Performers include the London Philharmonic, the London Festival Orchestra, the Vienna Folk Opera Orchestra, the Berlin Symphony, Collegium Aureum, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Melos Quartet, and many others. The performances are, without exception, outstanding, as is the sound quality. Some selections, such as Massenet's exquisite Meditation from "Thais," performed by the John Arpin Palm Court Trio, are among the best recorded versions I've heard.

This set would be an excellent introduction to classical music, or suitable for anyone looking for a high-quality "best of" collection.
