Music reviews of American Classics Sampler
Music Review: More than just a bargain...
Rating: 5 Stars
This album has become part of my permanent rotation of background music at the office. We don't get good radio reception, and we're not allowed to use the internet for non-business purposes, which leaves out both public radio and Pandora internet radio options. Amazon has definitely helped me stock my mp3 player and CD collection.
As for track 14, I knew the tune but had not yet learned the title, so I was pleasantly surprised to find "Adagio for Strings" as one of the tracks on this sampler. It is a very moving piece of music even without videos or pictures to go along with it. Even if your daytime/office radio choices are not as limited as mine are, I would still recommend this album for track 14 alone.
This was a great buy, especially at 16 tracks of excellent music for $1.99, and I'm glad I came across it. Some of the albums I've found on Amazon for good prices have even had so many tracks that I've had to burn an mp3 CD or multiple regular audio CD's just to make a backup of the entire album.
