Music reviews of Ultimate Rachmaninov: The Essential Masterpieces [Box Set]

Music Review: Recommended for Quality and Price
Rating: 5 Stars

This review is for the classical music CD set The Ultimate Rachmaninov. This set consist of 5 CD's and was released in 2007 by Decca. The five CD's come packaged in a snug fitting cardboard box, which is useful for storage and handling.

Each CD is housed in a standard sized jewel box with the contents listed on the inside sleeve and the backing paper insert. Content listings include track titles, artist and track time. The total disk playtime is only listed on the inside jewel box sleeve and on the back of the storage box. There is no commentary on the recording artists or the recordings included with this set or with any of the Decca "Ultimate" sets for that matter.

I am not a musician or musical scholar. I do enjoy listening to classical music and Rachmaninov piano works have always been a favorite of mine. In my opinion these are excellent recording of the Piano Concertos 1-4, Piano Sonata No.2, Symphony No. 2 and Vespers.

Decca has released several of these "The Ultimate" five CD sets. The Rachmaninov is my seventh set. The physical design of the other sets is identical to the description give in this review. My assumption is that a reputable label like Decca issuing sets titled "The Ultimate" would only select recording from their library judged to be outstanding examples of that artist works. I have not been disappointed.

The quality of the recordings and the bargain price make these sets well worth purchasing for the classical music enthusiast.
