1 out of 5 stars Poorest Quality   March 22, 2006
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I have never had so many problems with a CD set as I have had with this one. I returned my first set to Amazon due to several of the discs being damaged to the point that the tracks I needed could not be listened to. Right out of the box some of the discs were scratched or had visible imprints from the case material on them. Amazon was great and quickly sent me a replacement set, but amazingly I had the same problems with the next set. I, like you probably do, need the set for a college class so I could not afford to lose more time in returning another set for a replacement. After spending $90.00 for an item you are required to have it is infuriating to deal with this sort of thing. Unless you are absolutely stuck don't buy this CD set or you will really be stuck!


1 out of 5 stars Very Poor Quality CD's   March 31, 2006
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This item deserves a zero as a rating. I never had problems with CDs as I did with this 8-CD set. They refuse to play when you make a selection. When I placed them in multiple CD players, they sounded as if an airplane was taking off. These are very poor quality CDs for $100. Do not waste your money on this item.


5 out of 5 stars Very happy with the CD's   April 25, 2006

I loved these CD's. I had no problem playing them on a personal cd player or my car cd player. I did not hear any background noises while I played them. I really learned alot from them and I enjoyed the music and they were beautifully played.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection!   April 13, 2005
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I purchased this collection for a Music class in college, and loved it a great deal. The selections are excellent and well arranged. I also love how the longer pieces are divided up into several tracks so that you can skip to a particularly interesting peak within a movement. The first and last two CD's are especially diverse and interesting, kicking off and wrapping up a HALF A DAYS WORTH (its 12 hours long!) of a musical explosion of Genius.

Sadly, I had to part with my copy for financial reasons, but I assure you that you won't be dissapointed. Load this puppy into your iPod, hit random, and you will essentially be listening to a jukebox full of the best orchestrations of music ever made.
