Good compilation- of bits and pieces July 2, 2007 F. Murray (long beach, ca United States) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was excited to see such a great collection of classics, but I was really disappointed to listen and discover that many tracks are shortened dramatically. A fraction of Rhapsody in Blue- a ridiculously short fragment of Bethoveen Ninth Symphony- "Ode to Joy" a tiny part of the first movement of Rachmoninov's Piano Concerto no.3. I'd rather have fewer tracks and the complete movements.
Good and inexpensive collection March 17, 2007 Dr. Kenneth T. Bastin MD (brookfield, wi United States) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
EMI's Best Classics 100 provides six CDs with seven hours of selected classical music. The cover does a poor job of portraying who does the selecting and who performs the piece -- information inside however does detail the symphonies being recorded. Recordings from the Polish Chamber, Berlin Symphonies, Royal Philharmonic etc are mentioned. The recording quality is good and the price is low, representing a good purchase for a general collection.
