Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Putting together a compilation of classical music and branding it with the Classic FM logo guarantees sales. The Sound of Classic FM, a neatly-packaged three-CD set, comes hot on the heels of such top-selling compilations as Relax and Hall of Fame 2000, and the more recent Relax More. The tracklisting reads like a typical Classic FM schedule--in with such staples as Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No.1, Rossini's William Tell Overture, the final movement of Mozart's Horn Concerto No.4 and, that old chestnut, "Nessun Dorma!". There are a few less well-known pieces which have been added to the station's playlist, such as the divine slow movement from Spohr's Clarinet Concerto No.1, "Judex" from Gounod's Mars et Vita and Parry's rousing choral piece I Was Glad. The enclosed booklet contains brief notes on each of the 28 pieces but with no performer credits although the box itself boasts such names as Nigel Kennedy, Yehudi Menuhin, Lesley Garrett and José Carreras. So, if you're a fan of Classic FM and want to hear more than three hours of music from the last three centuries or so--without the adverts--then this is for you. --Rebecca Agnew Customer Reviews

 Rating: - The whole radio station in one box!I've been a Classic FM fan for years now and I was delighted when I heard this three CD box set being advertised on the radio. It's absolutely packed with some fantastic pieces of classical music. Some of them I was familiar with - and others - like Spohr's Clarinet Concerto have been a real ear-opener for me. This has gone to the top of the pile of my favourite CDs - and I would recommend it 100% to all music lovers. Whether you already know a lot about classical music and want the highlights of your collection on just three discs - or whether you are just turning on to classical music for the first time, I guarantee you'll love The Sound of Classic FM. |
