The 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music Reviews
| 39 of 41 people found the following review helpful:  More than just the usual suspects, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music (MP3 Download) I just wanted to say how pleased I am with this acquisition. As you probably know the London Philharmonic is one of the world's outstanding orchestras, and the collection is pretty much every piece you would expect to be included, and then some. It reminded me of the proms concert I went to years ago, it has that same high energy music that really rouses and gets the crowd going. You probably remember O Fortuna from Orff, from the Omen movies, and all the majors are are covered Bach, Beethoven even Handel's Messiah. Interspersed with this are pieces like the Gymnopedies, Peer Gynt, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik from Mozart, and one of my new favorites, the impeccably beautiful movement of Barcarolle from Tales of Hoffman, so a good variety of music to please every palate, from slow to meditative, to the virtuoso speed of Rondo Alla Turca. Thank you Amazon for making this available at such an irresistible price. Hope this was helpful...
