4.0 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL AND ENCHANTING MUSIC, June 13, 2000

By A Customer

You won't regret purchasing this amazing classical cd, with many well known tunes played on instruments such as the violin and piano. Pachelbel's Canon and Vivaldi's Winter from The Four Seasons are, in my opinion, the two best songs on the cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars you can't beat it for the price, December 10, 2001

By	Brandi N. Copher "bcopher" (Mt. Vernon, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't remember why I bought this cd but I can't be happier that I did. What a pleasant surprise. A disk of 20 songs for about [price]. Very nicely arranged and perfect for relaxing, driving, or work.
