Eleven hours of music--how can I complain?

I was initially worried that this collection would have a great deal of overlap with the similarly named 99 Most Essential Classical Pieces, but after a quick overview, the two collections don't seem to have much overlap (<10 songs), and even fewer outright repeats. However, I did not compare with the overall 99 Most Essential series, so undoubtedly there are more repeats between this set and the individual composer sets. Hopefully some enterprising individual will provide a more thorough analysis.

Here are the composers:

1. Ludwig Van Beethoven - Egmont, Op. 84: Overture in F Minor

Let me start by agreeing with the previous reviewer -- this is great music, and if you don't have a lot of these "99" sets already, I'd say jump on it.

The only downside if you're new to these sets is that these are almost all bits and pieces taken out of larger works, so you're not hearing what the composer wrote -- just the beginning, middle or end. That's not ideal, but in a thematic collection like this, well, OK.

But if you've been following the "99 Most Whatever" series from Sweden's X5 Music Group for a while, you've seen this music before. I have to disagree with the previous reviewer on that score -- compared to my own music library, which contains most, but not all of the X5 collections, this set includes 59 tracks that are outright repeats. A further 26 tracks are music that has been featured before, but now in different performance. This is fine, but I realized I don't really need a new performance of the first movement of Beethoven's "Spring" Sonata, or to hear the St. Petersburg New Philharmonia's take on the second movement of Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony right now. (Note that the overlap numbers are calculated only against X5 collections, not the completely separate "99 Must-Have" series from the LA-based Cobra Entertainment.)

This leaves 14 tracks of music that hasn't featured before. And while the overture to an Antonio Salieri opera sounds kind of interesting, I also realized that buying these warmed over recycled sets of music they've already sold us would just encourage them to keep putting out more of the same. So I'm sitting this one out.

Here are some more numbers: 81 of the 99 tracks are Mozart (37), Beethoven (29) or Haydn (15). Excerpts from Rossini (4) and Luigi Boccherini (3) are also featured.

Just for the record -- and I realize a lot of people won't really care, which is fine -- X5 cheated quite a bit by including most of the 29 Beethoven tracks in a "Classical Era" set. While Beethoven is in fact recognized as the most prominent cusp between the Classical and the Romantic periods, his real significance is (I would argue) as the towering figure in the foundation of the Romantic Era. A lot of his early works did cling to the traditions of Haydn and Mozart, and can be considered Classical in style, but almost all the works here are definitely by the "Romantic" Beethoven. And one -- the "Grosse Füge" -- was already (again, I would argue) looking well beyond Romanticism and into the coming Modern Era. So X5 has done some considerable fudging on its "Classical Era" theme.

But no matter, it's great music, and if you haven't been buying these sets regularly, I'm sure it's very much worth your while.

I'm not really going to get into the whole "these aren't the complete works" or "this has duplicates" arguments, I'm not really a classical music aficionado, and I'm just not that picky I suppose when something costs $2 and has 99 songs. However, I will say that I have been more than pleasantly surprised with this set.

On a given day, you can most often find me listening to rock and hip-hop genres; classical music really doesn't make it on to my iPod, so I'm not the one to pick apart every piece of this compilation. I purchased this because I wanted something that would act both as enjoyable noise (I feel white noise is good, but a waste of listening to with earbuds), and wouldn't interfere with productivity. See, the problem, at least for me, when I listen to rock and hip-hop music, it gets me to entwined with the words/lyrics, that I can't concentrate while listening. Classical music such as this works perfect, I can both be productive, and listen to a fantastic score at the same time (and it significantly improves my mood, and even seems to improve my productivity).

As for the music itself, it is all familiar pieces; I'm certain anyone, even those who don't listen to classical music, will easily recognize almost all of these pieces. I will say they are performed more than adequate, and in fact I really enjoy these performances. I've picked up cheap classical cds in the past, and some of them are really, really bad; sloppily played, and even worse sloppily conducted.

So, to wrap up/summarize, I think the set is more than worth the $2 I paid, duplicates or not. These are familiar pieces that most people will know, and are performed quite well, and really I would go so far as to say everyone should at least buy this set if you don't own any classical sets. These are "classics" in every sense of the word, and even someone as young as myself, who's addicted to hard rock and rap, can still easily appreciate this. Oh, and the Amazon cloud works perfect, because I don't even have to download to the PC, I can just listen to these in my browser!

5/5 stars
