Customer Reviews A regular listener's impression I bought this CD for relaxation (as the title implies) and to help me focus on writing a thesis. I am not an expert in classical music, but have always loved the string instruments. I was torn between this CD and the Cello for Relaxation. I am pleased with my choice. My favorites are track #2 and #10 (listen to the samples through Amazon) - I usually play these two on repeat. My least favorite is track #7 because it sounds like a piano dominated movie soundtrack. Although I wish I could have exchanged some of the tracks for others, I think this CD was worth the money and is a nice mix for those of us who don't know specific composers by name or who want a good sampling. VIOLIN The choice of orchestras and conductors are also very well selected offering very good variety in the similar music mood. The selection of music was a good mix and pleasant in listening to them. My two long time favourites "Meditation" and "Salut d'amour" were very well played in the right tempo and instrumental arrangement. The recording quality is good offering both clarity and defination in the recording. . Everything remembered and wanted on strings It will take you back to everything good remembered, and forward to everything good ahead of us. To me, it is an extraordinary combination demonstarting the old world beauty and timeless artistry of the violin. .
