4.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable at a great price, November 29, 2005

By	Neal J. Pollock (VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is a collection of lovely pieces at a very reasonable price--for over 63 minutes of baroque music. It has 2 pieces each of Handel & Vivaldi plus an assortment of lesser-known composers. I particularly like the Purcell piece. It does not, however, have any Bach or Telemann. It's fine listening music and could be used for meditation or background music as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Collection of Pieces, June 21, 2000

By	William M. Rand (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews

This is a nice collection of Baroque pieces but as is usually the case with this kind of collection the recordings and performances just aren't that spectacular. I'm not sure I would have gotten this CD if it hadn't been given to me. That being said if you are looking for an introduction to Baroque music this is not a bad CD to start with, at least it gives you a taste of what's at hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!, November 8, 2008

By	Erika D. Alvarez "erikared" (FL, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I borrowed this cd from my dad to be played during the birth of my son and later lost the cd. 2 1/2 years later I found it and it brought tears to my eyes as I remembered those very special moments with my little one. Now I'm looking to purchase a brand new one for my dad to keep this one for myself. I don't know a whole lot about classical music but I love every piece of this particular disc.
