Music reviews of The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World...Ever!

For a more specific explanation:

When Beethoven composed his "Moonlight Sonata" he composed it in 3 movements. All 3 movements contain unique but at the same time relative themes. The first movement that is made part of this compilation is slow, calm and nocturnal awhile at the same time alert of anything treacheruous. The second movement is slighty faster and a bit more joyful the same nocturnal kind of way. The third movement is played at Presto (FAST) tempo and in a manner that expresses complete lunacy *hint*. Now lets analyze that word for a second, "Lunacy", which basically means mad, chaotic or insane. If you take out the "cy", you arrive at the latin word, "Luna" which means "Moon". The etymology of the word "Lunatic" basically derrives from human observations (1300s) of the effects the moon has on nature and society. If one were to look at this from a scientific/astrological perspective, the moon has four phases (Not including wanning and waxing gibbous), since two are reflected versions of itself, one is taken out, leaving 3 moon phases; New Moon, Half-moon and Full Moon. In a new moon the night sky is dark and silent, just like the first movement. In the half-moon, the night sky is lit up with half the moon's joyful light, just like the second movement. In a full moon, the moon obtains the highest gravitational force between itself and the earth, pulling all sanity from earthly waters and susceptible minds, just like the third movement. So you see, all movements are ment to be together in order to grasp the composer's original and artistic/poetic perspective of the world around us. To do otherwise is to completely destroy the composer's musical and artistic integrity. Which is exactly what this compilation does, and quite frankly i'm getting tired of seeing such compilations that claim to be classical pop up on amazon.com when I am looking for REAL classical albums.

If you want REAL classical, I suggest the following:
Beethoven - 32 Piano Sonatas by William Kempff
Vivaldi - Four Seasons by Orpheus & Gil Shaham
Chopin - Complete Nocturnes by Daniel Barenboim
or
Chopin - Complete Works by Vladimir Ashenazy
etc

But by ALL MEANS STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPILATION,
that is unless if you have no regard for artistic value in music.
