CLASSICA D'ORO
We
couldn't believe it: at an absurdly low price, a huge collection of
classical music on 50 CDs. We listened with a jaundiced ear. Might
these be old mono recordings? No, they're all in stereo, and better
than pretty good...mostly 10th row centre in a good hall, just the way
we like it. Surely the artists would be third rate? No, they are all
respectable, and many are excellent. Then the music choice would be
biased toward the saccharine? No, it's just about the selection we
would have made had we been putting together a package like this. If
you have few or no classical recordings and you've been thinking you
would like to discover the world of the classics, this is for you. It
will enrich your life! Even if you have a fair collection already,
you'll be surprised by what's on this 50 CD set.
