I bought this CD just to have some classical music to listen to while driving across the deserts of the western US (classical radio stations are, alas, not too plentiful in rurual areas). It was on sale and looked like it would be reasonably good (how could one go too wrong with Mozart anyhow?). It also featured several selections I did not have on other CD's, so it would be a good addition to the Mozart section, I figured.

I had no idea a 'budget' CD could be this good. Whether or not this actually tunes your brain as the producers claim, the music is just stellar. Mozart was one of history's great composers, but the selection of works here is just astonishing in scope, composition, and variety. The performances and recording quality match the quality of the music too. This CD works as a "Mozart conoisseur's" collection.

While these are not Mozart's best known or most popular selections (The Marriage of Figaro, Ein Klein Nachtmuzik, etc. have to be located elsewhere), every song on this CD is a masterpiece -- living up to the descriptive line from "Amadeus" ('..Displace one note and you would only mar perfection...').

Even if you already have a sizaeable classical collection, this CD is a very worthwhile addition. At a bargain price, it's a real deal--almost a steal.

I bought this CD to play in my Kindergarten classroom. It is great for transition time - I turn it on to signal the children that it is time to clean up and meet me on the rug. They clean up, sit on the rug and close their eyes for a minute. This really works to calm them down and they seem to like the music. This CD is a must have!!!

From piece to piece, it's mezmerizing to listen to. There are many Mozart CDs out there, and this has to be one of the best. The tunes were catchy, they were soft and heartful, and also strong and powerful. THIS CD shows you the full power of Mozart.

The tone the harmony, these songs are so peaceful and colorful to listen to somehow. Of all the classical music disks I've bought and fully listened to, this is the one I treasure the most. Perfect to read with Tess of the Durbervilles. Perfect to eat with Sushi. Sunny to lay with on a beache. And most of all, soothing to listen to while in traffic.

Mozart has shown to have a profound effect on learning in recent studies. I teach school and have found this CD to help students concentrate and stay focused on the task at hand. I recommend anybody who teaches or daydreams use this for concentration. It is a great buy!

Very soothing and high-powered music. I play this at my high-classed Chinese restaurant and get plenty of positive comments on the music pieces on this CD. One customer even asked me to write down the title and composer of this CD so he could go out and buy it himself! I really enjoy this CD, and obviously...my customers do too!

Wanted to try the "Mozart Effect" on my teenage niece who only listened to rap and teen-pop. She said the first time she heard this it was like electrical sparks lighting up her brain. She loved it.

I am already familiar with classical music. This compilation is very well chosen, edited and engineered. There are some less than common selections, so even if you already have many symphonies, there will be some different music on this CD. Nothing is too long. The tempo is both mildly relaxing and stimulating at the same time. Good for studying or thinking.

I love this series of classical music. See my review for Mozart: Energize. Besides listening to lovely music, work gets done!

I've done some of my best studying with this album. I've been using it for years and it helps me to focus for long peroids of time, espcially in public areas. It's just upbeat enough to keep you awake, but mellow enough that you don't become distracted. I've listened to this so many times that I've memorized every piece, and my brain's been conditioned to focus everytime I hear one. I highly recommend it.

I put the cd music on my I-pod and listen to it while I study.
