Customer Reviews:

CD set is misnamed.......2007-06-08

They should have titled this "classical music for people who love classical music" because most of the selections are typical classical music. The title suggests it would be lively selections of "light classical" music that is more upbeat, i.e. Sabre Dance, etc. I really don't hate classical music at all and have many classical CDs in my collection but I really wanted to hear more exciting selections. I won't be purchasing any more of this set but if you like traditional classical music these are good one.

Do not Buy.......2007-02-21

I do know it says classical music for people who hate it, but serioulsly you would have better luck never listening to classical music again. The recordings are awfull and do not do justice to any of the composers. Buy something else.

Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music.......2007-01-30

We love this set of CD's. I just got a new copy because my kids keeping taking our first copy with them so that they can listen at work or in their bedrooms but then I can never find them.

Seek better versions.......2006-12-09

If you are fairly new to classical purchases then compilation CD's can be useful for deciding what to buy next. Sometimes you only need a small taste of a piece to inspire you to buy a release with the whole performance on. The problem with this compilation however is that most of the versions are poor in performance or recording quality (or both) when compared to the best versions and the fact that the conductors aren't even credited on the track listing made me suspect that this would be the case. One of my favorite classical pieces is Tchaikovsky's 1812 festival overture but if the first CD version I had heard had been the finale excerpt that is on this compilation I may not have gone on to buy the whole thing. Luckily I heard Adrian Leaper's version first and Adrian's version is rather good.
My classical CD buying experience is limited to only a couple of dozen discs but I have found that the Naxos and Deutshe Grammophon releases are fairly safe. Avoid any release which does not name the conductors on the track listing or sleeve notes.

It Is What It Is.......2006-10-27

It's fitting that this page is fraught with the same kind of silly snobbery that turns people off from classical music (and necessitates collections like this) in the first place.

Any criticism of this compilation, which focuses on the quality of the performances or the fact that many tracks are excerpts, misses the point. This is not a collection for people who consider such things, nor does it purport to be. The idea is to package as many ultra-famous classical melodies as possible in one affordable collection and market it to people who have never purchased a classical recording. As such, top-tier performances are likely too expensive to be sold so cheaply and are unnecessary anyway. Those of us who already know and love a piece or two can forgive the compilers the inclusion of sub-par recordings, when we are exposed to so many other beautiful pieces for the first time.

It probably comes as a shock for some to hear that most people are not familiar with these classics. We may hear snippets on TV or movies, but are left with no idea as to the composer or historical context. With that in mind, it is extremely intimidating to begin buying classical. I suppose those among us, who so thoroughly dismissed the very notion of a boxed set like this, would have us begin by buying full albums by reputable interpreters. Surprisingly enough though, the majority of people would consider that a tad cost-prohibitive.

To conclude, this is a STARTER collection. It will either affirm a listener's feelings about classical music or lead to an interest in purchasing better recordings. Ideally, I suppose the interpretations would be better, but, for reasons mentioned above, that just isn't in the cards for a collection of this nature. If you're familiar with 50 different recordings of "The Ring" series, or have season tickets to the New York Philharmonic, then this probably isn't for you. For us cretins with limited foreknowledge of classical music though, it serves as a succinct introduction with little to complain about.

The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

Album Description

In just their few short years of existence, Combichrist has become one of the most iconic bands in the electronic music genre. After finishing up their tour in support of KMFDM in the fall of 2006, Combichrist earned even more notoriety among fans of industrial rock who had previously never heard of them. With an ever growing army of fans, Combichrist is poised to release What The Fuck Is Wrong With You People?, their newest album in 2007. Featuring last year's break out single, "Get Your Body Beat," the album is an explosive barrage of corrosive beats, leering vocals, and acidic melodies. WTFIWWYP? is a high energy, adrenaline charged piece of sonic battery. If you don't find yourself sweaty, naked, out of breath, and bleeding by the time the album is finished, you weren't listening!

Not worth the money........2007-05-11

I am highly unimpressed. This album is not worth 5 dollars. I was really excited when i heard this was being realeased. Just to be dissapointed, the songs are boring.. very boring... Actually, i didnt like any of the songs except Brain Bypass and Get your Body Beat....

My advice, don't buy this album.

Disappointing...........2007-04-27

After Everybody Hates You I was expecting a less drunken sound. Sure some tracks will fill the floors and get bodies moving but this needs to be heard outside the clubs.

Combichrist keeps evolving..........2007-04-25

I agree w/ the review below, so what if they go in a different direction. There are at least 5 songs that are in the spirit of EHY, and besides, their EP's seem more techno than EHY or JoG, so it's not like they've been doing the same thing for 5 years now.
The double album second CD is also a great treat, continually mixed, not as mellow as Everybody Hates You's second CD.

Andy knows what he's doing........2007-04-19

Combichrist is in one of those spaces right now where they are probably becoming to popular for the elitists in the industrial scene to like anymore, but not quite popular enough outside of it yet either. However, I doubt this bothers Mr. Andy Pelgua, mastermind behind Combichrist and several other electronic projects.
You see, i'm pretty sure he has no BS illusions about being a dark poet or tortured, or overly self important as alot of groups in the ebm genre tend to get. I'm willing to bet he knows that he's a party band. Combichrist is all about the "get crazy" element of things.
A few parts of this album come off as angry, but even if its a party hard ebm group, its still hard ebm. However a great deal of it(at least to me) feels tongue in check enough to pass though. Essentially, if VNV are supposed to be the spiritual successors of Front 242, Combichrist is probably the successor to something like the Revolting Cocks.
People expecting yet another "everybody hates you" are probably in for some disapointment. Less goofy samples, more straight vocals on this one. At places however it does seem a bit less Combichrist and more like a harder version of one of his other bands, Icon of Coil, or more like his pre-Everybody Hates You Combichrist work from the album "the Joy of Gunz", except of cours with more straight up vocals. Alot of people will probably be angry about the changes however, but I think it would be more boring if he had just done the same album over and over. You can at least tell he's making some progress, and breathing some fun into the often stale genre of ebm style industrial.

Meh.......2007-04-09

I really wanted this album to be brilliant. Instead it's just simply "okay". It's hard to tell what Andy was shooting for - gone are the straight-up simple beat-heavy tracks of his last album - and gone are the harsher sounds of his earlier work. It's like he couldn't decide if he wanted to be more hardcore or more mainstream so instead he ends up being neither. I so badly want this album to kill on the dance floor but I'm afraid the best it's going to do is fade unceremoniously. Meh.

Beautiful !.......2006-12-31

This is a beautiful and relaxing cd to listen to. I bought it while i was pregnant and still love it now that my daughter is 3 months old. It is so calming and what mother doesn't need that? :-)

proud father to be.......2004-01-01

I found this cd after my wife gave birth to our first child unfortunately. Now my wife is expecting our second child. I am a big believer in classical music for unborn babies, delivery rooms, all the way to kindergarten. My four year old daughter hears 'twinkle twinkle little star' anywhere and she about faces instantly! Pachelbel's Canon is another personal favorite. I respect anything Deutsche Grammophon puts their endorsement on, too. Highly recommended for pregnancy stress reduction, labor jitters, and little toddlers.

Terrible!!.......2002-01-29

The CD opens with "Twinkle, Twinkle. Little Star" - Now, that should tell you everything. . . YUK!

This compilation is a huge let down and has nothing to do with pregnancy or childbirth. I could have put my own tape together better from my own CD collection instead of wasting my money on this lousy one.

TUNE YOUR BRAIN: PREGNANCY & CHILDBIRTH.......2001-09-30

This is an incredibly relaxing and tranquil album not only for pregnancy and childbirth but for anyone with an ear for classical music. The pieces are soothing and moving, and the varied selections make for a placid work that calms and relaxes. Plus, it puts the little one right to sleep!

A Fabulous Introduction to Igor Stravinsky!!.......2004-05-19

Sony Music's "The Essential Igor Stravinsky" truly lives up to its title. This double-CD set includes nearly every important piece of work (either in part or in whole) by the great Russian composer. The set also presents the pieces in chronological order beginning in 1908 with "Fireworks" and ending in 1966 with his final piece, the short but simple "Owl and The Pussycat". In between, there are excerpts from Stravinsky's most famous works including the first part of "The Rite Of Spring" and highlights from the "Firebird" and "Petrushka" ballets. There are also lesser-known works included as well as his harmonically rearranged version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (a rendition which caused a stir in the early 1940's). The entire collection concludes with a rare recorded interview with Igor Stravinsky himself in which he remembers the infamous premere of "The Rite Of Spring".
The CD booklet includes detailed liner notes as well as a written tribute by Trey Anastasio of the band Phish. The sound quality of the recordings is amazing (even on the historic 1934 recording of "Piano Rag Music"). All in all, this an excellent collection of works by the great Igor Stravinsky. In a sense, this compilation gives the composer the 'rock musician' treatment. It's a 'greatest hits' album and a career-spanning retrospective that serves as an ideal introduction to Igor's music. Even if your not a fan of Classical music, it isn't difficult to listen to the works of Stravinsky and not be stirred.

A Life Saver!.......2005-11-12

I bought this CD when my first son was a few months old. He had colic and this was the only CD which seems to sooth him. Plus I have to admit that it relaxes me as well. My oldest son in now 4 1/2 and still asks for me to put it on a few times a week.We now have another son and I think I'm going to buy another one! It really works! All the nights it added to his sleep are priceless to me!!!!

A Bedtime Ritual that has endured for SEVEN YEARS.......2000-11-16

and is still going strong! I bought the cassette when my son was two years old. It always helped sooth him to sleep and is a wonderful accompaniment to bedtime reading. On occasions when we had to take him to a babysitter or out of town on vacation, we would bring G'night Wolfgang to help him feel secure &lull him to sleep in an unfamiliar place. I thought he would tire of it by now, but we all still love it and listen several nights a week at bedtime. This timeless music also works its magic to calm frazzled parental nerves any time of day or night. Though it wasn't our original intention, I do think this collection (and our ritual)has given our son an enduring appreciation for classical music that will probably last a lifetime. Now he's nine years old and chooses his own music which is a bit trendier, funkier (and definitely louder!), but he seems to know there's a place in our psyche well-served by enchanting classical music such as this.

excellent bedtime music.......1998-10-22

this c.d. is a wonderful choice of bedtime music for infants and toddlers. I have played this c.d. everynight since my 2 year old was 2 months old. He absolutely loves it. Plus they say Mozart is good for the brain!

Good, but not great selections given the title selected........2007-03-04

This CD contains some good pieces, but overall, the selections were not what I would have picked for a CD with this title. I used to think that I hated classical music, but now that I've sailed past 40 I have learned to enjoy it in almost every variety. Nevertheless, as a child of the Rock/Pop Music era, I can tell you most people today who think they hate classical music, think so because they've pretty much only heard the slower/less dramatic compositions. (I.e., "elevator" music.) The goal, of course, is to develop a real love for the genere, but in most cases, the introduction needs to be a "grabber." Perhaps I'm too skeptical, but while there is more than elevator music on this CD, I do not think it is on the whole upbeat or rythmatically appealing enough to sieze the interest of most of today's A.D.D. generation --- which is the presumable target audience.

Worthy on any level.......2002-01-23

I bought this cd for my father about 3 years ago. My father loved classical music. Actually, one might consider him quite the snob about classical music. Pop (was 83 at the time) and I (48 at the time) spent many an occasion listening to this wonderful cd. It has enough variety and familiar pieces (and yet, not the regular stuff) that we could let it play again and again and still be delighted with the pleasure that it brought to us both. I am listening to it even as I write this review. Buy, buy, buy! It is a PERFECT gift.

Humans Are Classically Stubborn.......2001-05-16

We humans are quite a stubborn bunch. Once we get something in our heads, it's hard to change our minds. I have been a life "shunner" of classical music. A pseudo snob, I couldn't waste time on music I couldn't.....A. Dance (poorly) to, or...B. Sing (horribly) along with. Yet in galleries, museums, or theatres, I would hear strains of truly beautiful music and would think "I just have to find out what that is!" Then, of course, I didn't. I finally forced myself to purchase this CD at the urging of my 12 year old and I fell in love. YOU know all of these pieces. YOU'VE heard them every time you cried during a tear-jerker or strolled through a museum. And YOU like them, you really, really like them. The CD has become one of my favorites and actually induced me to buy more classical music. The name of my new purchase? "MORE Classical Music For People Who Hate Classical Music." Hey -It's a start. Give this one a listen, it will seem like an old friend has come to visit. And you just might learn something.

The title says it all........1999-08-28

This CD is good for those who do not regularly collect classical CD's. If you don't really know much about classical music, but would like just a taste, this CD is for. This album is also good for those who love classical music, I bought it because it had all of my favorite classical works all on one CD. I can play a song at a get together and everyone there has heard the song some where at some point in their lives.

A Child's Celebration of Classical Music, like its esteemed peers in the Music for Little People series, is not only of superior quality, it caters to the interest of kids without dumbing down the music. Beginning with the lively Boston Pops Orchestra rendition of "In the Hall of the Mountain King," this collection draws the listener into worlds created by orchestral majesty, powerful buildups, and exquisite narrative. Meryl Streep's buttery tones preface Ravel's magically ruminative "Sleeping Beauty" and Carol Channing is simply marvelous in her telling of the giggle-inducing yarn of "Gerald McBoing Boing," as set to strings and drums, cymbal clashes, and horn accents. David Bowie provides a distinguished narration to Prokofiev's nearly-30-minute-long "Peter and the Wolf" suite, a classic which still thrills and delights audiences half a century after the composer's death. Throughout, children will delight in distinguishing the wide array of instruments and the sounds they represent. --Paige La Grone

Surprisingly enjoyable.......2005-05-28

This is definitely not what I expected in a classical music tape, but still a surprisingly enjoyable to listen to. I bought it for my 4 year old who loves to listen to what he calls "kid's songs" and hoped that it wouldn't totally annoy my older children. This one is a winner, though, ALL the kids (ages 2 to 11) really like it. Bobby McFerrin's Music Box is really quite amazing and you appreciate his talent the more you listen to it (although I would never have guessed this was classical music.) The water music rendition is equally fun. My only complaint is that Gerald McBoing is waaaay too long, but still it fascinated the kids so I guess it's worth it! The variety of music contained on the tape keeps it fresh.

Wonderful!!!.......2001-08-15

Kids will eat this up! The selection of readers and singers are brilliant. Not only will the stories entertain children but they will learn from a young age that classical dosn't mean boring! Danny Kaye is one of my favorite people. His voice has always captured me somehow. I have seen my siblings listen in amazement to Boby McFerrin's amazing "voice". His portrayel of a music box is highly impressive. The way this CD combines the old with the new, the humorous with the soothing, and the music with the story telling, leaves me feeling up-lifted and calm. A complete must-have for children and adults alike!
