5.0 out of 5 stars Like a box of your favorite chocolates..., May 1, 2003
This review is from: For When You're Alone (Audio CD)
This is a really well-thought-out selection of quieter Baroque, Classical and Romantic works, played primarily on strings but not exclusively. Some of the works are transcribed to other instruments--oboe in the case of a Bach harpsichord concerto, guitar instead of solo cello in the Bouree. This CD includes a lovely, lilting work by Pergolesi, who lived from 1710 to 1736. His wistful and playful music always provokes a happy-sad reaction from me because it's so beautiful and there is of course so little of Pergolesi due to his tragically short life.

This is not just a CD to play while you are alone in your bath, as the cover suggests. It's a nice evening wind-down CD and a great Sunday morning brunch album. It's one of those you can take on plane trips, play anytime you want something quiet yet uplifting. This is a fantastic selection of works, like a box of favorite chocolates only...no guilt and no calories. Sweet!
