Customer Reviews The epitome of elevator music I prefer orchestral or "tet" performances, but I wanted something a little less complex for those quieter moments. I agree wholeheartedly with the reviewer below. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations either, considering the price and the fact that there was no mention of who performed the pieces anywere on the box. But even with low expectations in hand, I still found this set to be extremely disappointing. As the reviewer below eluded to, the piano pieces sound like MIDI music. Very hollow and discrete; completely lacking in the richness and fullness of a real piano. The string music, on the other hand, is incomparably better- not great, but pleasant. As was mentioned, it was cool to hear pieces that are usually not played on solo strings being played on solo strings. Even so, I find it hard to recommend this set. I know for the price, it seems tempting, but even $10 is a waste if the cds are just going to collect dust on the shelf (as they will in my case). . Sounds fake They are definitely not played on a piano, most likely on a keyboard, so the pieces all sound very electronic. I tried not to get my hopes up when I bought this box set, but was still disappointed by the quality of the piano CDs. I did not enjoy the piano CDs for this reason, although the guitar CDs are of decent sound and have a wonderful variety of styles and composers. All in all, the entire collection is a pretty thorough overview of composers, with names popping up that aren't usually found in these popular classical music collections (i. e. Satie, Faure). I found that refreshing, but since I probably won't ever listen to the half of the collection that is piano, I'm not sure it was good buy. virtuoso but the only problem is many of the cd's have the same songs as the others. this box set is great if ur a classical buff. i got it mostly for the guitar songs, since i play guitar. the best of the four classical guitar cd's is the "Variations in Measure" this disk is amazing. the set has notorous tracks such as Greensleaves, lots beethoven(sonata a minor, Fur ELise) Malaguena, L'essence, Canon, Bouree, Ave Maria in diffrent versions, Scarborough Fair, and some bach. there are other many great titles. the set is rich with great timeless classical pieces. . . even a few hidden tracks. . . . great to listen to while studying or if u get in a nice long trip or romantic dinner with a sweet girl. the quality of the recordings is great. and the piano classicals are also very indulging, they have a great classical piano selection. the whole set has 8 cd's a great buy, you can listen to all the cd's and still hear a song or two you may have overlooked. .
