Customer Reviews

Music to Die For . . . But Don't!
It's interesting, the various approaches to the same subject: death. From beginning to end, it's a beautiful, moving celebration of life. Not recommended for listening in the car because some of the pieces are very soft and will be difficult to hear over the ambient noise of driving. Other pieces are louder, and all are wonderful. The Gorecki is a particular, personal favorite. From the other end of the spectrum, so is "O Fortuna."

Enjoy it very much
I really enjoy classical music. I heard one of the pieces on the radio and had to have it.
