Customer Reviews My favorite CD! I generally am not into clasical music, but this is fun. Van Cliburn is a master pianist, and this CD is pure listening enjoyment. His working fingers convince me that they are not working. They are dancing, and they are having great fun. WONDERFUL!!. Music to my ears! The last part of the course required listening to music from all the great composers, Baroque through contemporary periods, and identifying the more famous pieces by name and composer. I bought this CD as a "treat" for my 16 year old son, who has just finished a homeschool music course for one of his electives. He not only enjoyed the course, he now actually listens to this CD for his own enjoyment (when he's not playing 80's rock). What more could a mother ask for? (I'll tell you. I ask him to borrow it, it's lovely. ). Legend! Although I am a cellist, I wear this cd out on a regular basis both at the office and home. This is the greatest compilation of recordings ever made by the legendary pianist Van Cliburn. I actually have an extra copy to play at the office. All of these recordings are superb in sound quality, performance and incredibly inspiring. The Schumann, Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Liszt pieces are stellar and my personal favorites. I only wish there were dvd's with Cliburn's performances for those of us too young to have seen him perform live. CD is a must-have for any classical music lover's collection. .
