If the people at Nimbus are smart, they'll do a whole collection of discs on this theme. The literary-musical connection is, when done tastefully, as it is here, irresistible. As the intelligent and interesting notes maintain, "London at the time of Jane Austen was one of the most exciting centers in all of Europe for music," and this was an era of great fertility of composers in general. Lucky Jane! Imagine publishing your second novel the same year that Beethoven's Seventh Symphony receives its premiere. Or offering your fourth novel to the public near the time of the first performance of Schubert's Fifth Symphony. The program highlights popular music from Austen's time by Mendelssohn, Haydn, Fasch, J.C. Bach, Boyce, Schubert and others. I find the exclusion of chamber music a little odd here, though, since chamber music was the rage among the sort of gentlemen and women of the country about whom Austen wrote so well. --Gwendolyn Freed

 The Jane Austen Companion CD May 2, 2008
Cinderellasnickers (Omaha, Nebraska USA)
Perfect pieces from the time period! Research was done creating this CD! I popped in in the CD player and didn't want to stop it! Repeatedly play it! Nice to relax to, reading music, quiet time, while working on projects, or just wanting to unwind! A great addition to any Jane Austen fan's collection!

I'm immensly found of J.Austen writing and have also liked the soundtracks to the film adaptations of her stories,in particular Sense and Sensebility. My only dissapointment with the cd was that the songs on it resemble little my preconceived idea of what the would sound like because of aforementioned soundtracks. But very enjoyable still ! It's become my soothing and needlework music.
A perfect blend of music ! November 23, 2006

I decided to try this cd based on the good reviews it got and I'm certainly glad I did ! The music is just perfect for relaxing and filling the house with all the old classical masterpieces. A good buy that that's well worth the money!
