Music reviews of Best of the Millennium: Top 40 Classical Hits
Music Review: Blah
Rating: 2 Stars
The only reason this cd gets two stars, is that the intended song selection was initially good. However, the cd sounds like (you know what). I'm not an audio expert, but I think they individually recorded each instrument individually in a sound room, and then mixed all of them together, for all of the songs. A lack of big-hall sound gives it a hollow / empty feeling when listening to it. Save your money or look elsewhere!
Description of Best of the Millennium: Top 40 Classical Hits
For those who want the most remembered passages of classical music's best-loved works, here's a package for you. On this bargain priced double-CD, you'll find music from 40 different classical composers; for the most part, the recordings excerpted here are some of the very best. Of course, you only get one Bach sampling (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, played by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra) and one Mozart (A Little Night Music conducted by Herbert von Karajan), but this is still a nice collection--perhaps the starting point for a budding collection of classical music. This set's downfall? Unfortunately, though the liner notes discuss the evolution of classical music chronologically, the tracks are programmed in alphabetical order by composer's last name. This makes for some startling transitions! Emil Gilels's reflective performance of the Adagio from Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata is followed by the crashing cymbals and bombast of Carmen's "March of the Toreadors," a recipe for a heart attack if there ever was one. Still, there's something here for everyone and the liner notes even explain what movies this music can be found in. A nice touch. --Jason VerlindeGeneral CDs
