5.0 out of 5 stars Best Brass for your Buck, February 11, 2001

This is one of my favorite CD's in my collection. It has some of my favorite symphonic songs. This CD was the biggining of my brass CD collection and has the best collection of bombastic songs on the market.

I bought the CD because I wanted to enjoy the "thunderous classics" with my home system but I was disapointed. The music is flat: no emotions, no stereo effects. I presume it's ok if you listen to it while driving or in a low quality system.

CD Thunderous Classics
I got this music CD to keep me awake while working. It works.
I've had better orchestration and recording in my music collection, but this one is okay. Not the creme de la creme, but a good half-and-half.
