5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding sampler
By A Customer on February 25, 2001
Format: Audio CD
It is impossible of course to capture Baroque music on a single CD, but if you want just one it doesn't get any better than this. Outstanding and generous selection of many of the best known excerpts of the period, excellent performances throughout, and superior sound quality. Even the casual listener will recognize many of these great works, such as the theme from Masterpiece Theater, Pachelbel's Canon, Handel's Water Music, and so on.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Best Of Baroque Collection
By Rudy Avila on February 21, 2004
Format: Audio CD
This compilation album features some well-known Baroque Era musical works and serves as a perfect introduction to classical music. The great Baroque composers are showcased here - Bach, considered the greatest of them all, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli and others. The Baroque period (from 1600 to 1750) was a time of great development and change in music. Before the Baroque Era, music was single-melody and primitive, in much the same way it had been since the Old World of the Greeks and Romans. Plaintive chorus was the only new invention of the medieval days- the Gregorian monk chant and Hildegard Bingen's nuns' chant. But during the Baroque Era, instruments were created and with them a new sound. Flutes, oboes, clarinets, drums, violins, violas and most significantly the trumpet, was played in a new medium called the orchestra. This music was played before royalty, kings of England, Germany and France, and often elitist aristocratic crowds. The same applied to Baroque Opera, which re-told Greek legends and classical heroes through music and the human singing voice of opera. Finally, music broke out from the old and into the new.
Johann Sebastian Bach is regarded as the best of the Baroque composers. He wrote prolifically for orchestra, for harpsichord (the earliest piano or keyboard instrument), as well as the organ. Among Bach's popular pieces are the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (which is the theme for "Dracula" and was made into an orchestra version by conductor Leopold Stokowski as seen in the Disney film Fantasia of 1940), his Brandenburg Concertos- a total of six concertos that showcase the tone color of several instruments of the orchestra and are considered the height of the Baroque musical style. The Brandenburg Concerti that are most famous are th 3rd and 5th.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsbest baroque cd.......ever!
By RAYSC on March 5, 2011
Format: Audio CD
Purchased this cd for the long car rides. It is one that I always go back to..........always brings a smile to my face. Great sound and music you will not soon forget. For those who love Baroque, this is a must have. For those who are not Baroque listeners, give it a try...............you may be pleasantly surprised. Such musical enrichment is not often found in one cd. BTW. I usually do not buy compilations (having various composer works).............on this cd, everything works extremely well.

5.0 out of 5 starsLove this album
By C.A.Lutes on August 7, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Love this album. I listen to it all the time, especially when I am writing. I held a job at Interlochen Center for the Arts years ago---Director of Public Affairs---and I learned to appreciate almost every kind of music, but baroque has always been my favorite classical genre.

This CD is very smooth, flowing, and mellow. I have a 1.5 hour commute and it is so relaxing on the drive home - I have to remember I'm driving. If you like classical favorites, this is the recording for you!

Format: Audio CD
This is a good listen. I bought this music because a friend suggested that Baroque music could help my son with his math classes. This type of music touches and centers brain and helps center it towards logical thinking.
