1.0 out of 5 stars Don't blink, May 3, 2000
By FoggyTown (Crawley, England) - See all my reviews
The music on this CD is all wonderful, and it's a perfect CD toget - if you have the attention span of a soap bubble! Thisis a "sampler" with narrative and very few of thepieces listed are actually played in their entirety. Even pieces which are short to begin with are excerpted. We are given a whole minute of the Hallelujah Chorus and a rousing 45 seconds from the overture from "Ezio". This is a teaching CD which gives some fine examples to support the narration - but they are very short examples. A few bars here and there is all you get.

4.0 out of 5 stars In Words & Music, July 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Story Of Handel (Audio Cassette)
I have found this recording series to be a very helpful introductory teaching device for my young children. It gives a brief history of the composer and samples of the musical style.

3.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars Discounting Recording Problems, May 14, 2007
The content is terrific. This CD is one of a series of classical music masters. The only problem is that tracks 38 and later have a lot of distortion/static. I returned thinking it was a problem with the disc, but the replacement disc had the same problem. If not for that, I would have rated 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for homeschooling.
The narratives are short enough to keep your children's attention, the music may be short in some instances but if you're playing it in the background for exposure- it doesn't... Read more
