Summary: "The title says it all."
I bought this CD set for my fiance who requested a "greatest hits" of classical music. He was able to recognize 90% of the pieces, and has listened to the CDs several times in the past month. I am a great fan of classical music, so I was able to recognize that many of the pieces were not performed by top-rate musicians or orchestras, but my fiance didn't notice. He simply wanted an introduction to classical music in a way that was not too intimidating for a beginning listener. This set fulfilled its intentions perfectly.

Summary: "A great way to get into Classical Music!"
This is a great set to ease you into classical music. This set covers all the periods of classical music from almost every composer. It is mostly focused on music that we hear daily, but never knew was actual classical music (Ex. Can-Can, The Nutcracker, Four Seasons.) This is great for someone who is just starting to listen to classical music. Someone who is a seasoned listener of classical music will find out that some of the songs are cut down, just the finale, or excerpts. Overall this set is great music, just only for a beginner to ease them into classical music.

Summary: "This box selection is enjoyable"
Cheers to those with drive to attain "real" music student status. However, I just want to listen to music passages I have found enjoyable over the years. There is no pretense of this selection being a student workbook of classical music for the serious scholar - it is just an enjoyable alternative to that shared by those offensively loud vehicles near me at the stoplight.

Summary: "Classic haters Love it"
I admit I am not a huge fan of Classical music, but I have throughly enjoyed this CD. I recognize the songs, even though I have no idea of most of their titles.
