Customer Reviews Good job I bought a similiar type of one through TIme Life and decided to try the Classical Thunder one. I remember when I was little, I had this cd, but i lost it. I have like it so far. Masterful! I got the set in the early 1990's when it was advertised on television, along with other releases in Time Life's set. This two CD set is magnificent. I was struck by the interpretations of the conductors. Whenever I hear these pieces now, I judge them against this recording. Amazing selection as well. There are staples of orchestra repetoire, like Beethoven symphonies, but also gems that are not heard very often, like the Rimsky-Korsakov "Procession of the Nobles. " A very impressive recording. Great CD of Classical music's power pieces! As a student pursuing a Music Education major, it has been a great asset for my musically, and just great for listening to. I got this CD when I was around 16 because I loved a lot of the music on this double CD set. I will drive on short trips and take this with me and blast it louder than the guy in the next car blasting rap music. I also take it skiing as it sets a great tempo down the mountain. This is a great CD for anyone that loves music. .
