Karl Jenkins Has Been Composing for Three Decades, but it was his Knack for Delivering Themes for TV Commercials in the '80s and '90s that Began his Rise to Wider Recognition - Delta Airlines, Cheltenham and Gloucester Building Society, De Beers and Levi's Jeans Amongst Others - Earning Him Many Prestigious Music Awards.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sampler, November 9, 2006

By	J. G. Whitemyer (Wheaton, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here's an excellent and representative collection of Karl Jenkins' best compositions and arrangements. Buy this one first if you're still not sure you want to invest in a half-dozen Adiemus-type recordings. I predict that, if you listen to this one, you'll want more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jenkins' Essential Collection with Diamond music, November 9, 2006

By	MusicRules "music fanatic" (USA) - See all my reviews

This CD is an excellent addition to anybody's musical collection. It reflects the popular famous music from TV commercials as well as other music not as well known, but equally as entertaining. All the music reflects Jenkins' ability to vary his style of music.
I have listened to this music many times.
