The Childrens Listening Centre

Search: Elgar - Nimrod (from the Enigma Variations)
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 18, 2002
Howe Gelb has continued his weirdness with this album. Titled after childrens' classics but done in the style of many well known artists such as Goldfrapp, Black Sabbath & Nick Cave. The Pictures At An Exhibition cover certainly knocks spots off the ELP version and Howe tinkling away at the piano on Moonlight Sonata is inspired!
Buy this album from Amazon and you could be in for a treat (or a disappointment - depending on what you are expecting!)

Classic FM - Relax and Escape - The No.1 Collection of Smooth Classics

Search: Elgar - Nimrod (from the Enigma Variations)
by: Various Composers

Release Date November 08, 2004

There are numerous great value compilation sets of classical music claiming to have the power of relaxation - Classic FM alone have a few variants such as `Relax', `Relax More' and `Time to Relax' - and all appear to offer the ultimate relaxing experience so it's a difficult task to decide which to buy.

There is no `best' compilation though for it's a matter of personal choice, but there are several advantages of choosing the Classic FM range of relaxation therapy. There is not too much repetition between each set (if there was, we wouldn't buy their next relax release would we?), the recordings are invariably good (and recent) ones, and most importantly they usually offer a selection of some of today's big names in the Classical ...

The Greatest Classical Album

Search: Elgar - Nimrod (from the Enigma Variations)
by: London Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Academy of St Martin in the Fields, London Symphony Orchestra, Cambridge King's College Choir, Covent Garden Royal Opera House Orchestra

Release Date September 06, 2004
The music as always is excellent. The compilation is standard. There must be 100 'Best Classical Music' genre CDs out there with exactly the same 'compilations'. I wish someone would be a little more imaginative. This is a good CD if you want something to listen to in the car.

Relax More

Search: Elgar - Nimrod (from the Enigma Variations)
from: Classic FM

Release Date March 08, 2003
Ever since i was introduced to Classical music by my father at home and in music class at school i have appreciated the classics ability to soothe the mind, to be able to sink back and allow the mind to be massaged through the ears so as to be able to forget much of what troubles us, and Radio FM have again provided me with a beautiful continuity of music on these CDs to do just that. Gone is the need to turn the LP and for most of us we have the ability to place all the CDs in to a system and listen for hours on end, and with this set gone also is the need to skip tracks, each seems to flow naturally from the previous and merge nicely into the next, while the composers can take pride in their music, Radio FM can be proud of their management of all these ...
