5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, November 28, 2005

By	D. La Femina "DL" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this cd set years ago and they're still my favorite cds. Each cd follows a genre (baroque, classical, romantic, or modern and impressionist) and gives a great sampling of some of the strongest pieces in that genre. I don't know what I'd do without these cds.
