5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, December 18, 2002

This review is from: Mad about Baroque (Audio CD)

I thouroughly enjoy this CD! The music is beautiful enough to listen to all by itself, but also quiet and peaceful enough to listen to while studying for exams or doing homework. Mad about Baroque has been in my discman for many weeks and accompanied to the library many times. This is a great CD!

I find the music enjoyable, but nothing special. There is no loss buying this CD, but I'm sure there are others, perhaps, that are better.
