5.0 out of 5 stars I listened to the samples and have ordered the CD. That is the only reason I have removed it from my wish list., October 8, 2009

I have not actually listened to the whole CD yet because I just bought it and II haven't received it yet. However based on listening to the 25 second sample of each piece, I know it is going to be wonderful. Try starting at the first selection and then let each succeeding selection begin automatically.
