I don't know if the folks at Naxos are geniuses or just plain dumb for putting out this collection of classical music for 10 bucks providing hours and hours of top notch recordings for pennies a piece. I went searching for one particular work and came up with this offering. Did I need every selection? No, but this is a GREAT collection and range of classical works spanning genres and types of ensembles. Probably could have done without the Rimsky-K and the ENTIRE Messiah, but the Messiah recording features the sublime New College Choir of Oxford and so is definitely worth owing on its own account. Bravo Naxos!!!
How could you pass up 316 peices of classical music for 9.99 even if you duplicate?? Great for a long party with good wine!
...have ALL the classical music! My gosh, where to start!
24 hrs of somber and boring no matter how well done.
This CD is really one of a kind. It has over 300 songs for 10 dollars. And the classical songs are actually good. They are popular and I recognize many of the tunes. I have told all my friends about this. It is great music to study to.
I am more of a rock / jazz / blues / folk guy but this is an amazing deal and I am enjoying expanding my musical horizons.
It's true, there is a wide variety of classical music pieces available to start any classical music collection. Unfortunately, the emphasis of these recordings range from the early music, baroque, and classical - leaving out the romantic, neo-classical, impressionist, and modern 21st century music. I'm not saying this album lacks composer from these time periods, I'm saying these time periods are not emphasized. In addition, the recordings on most of these tracks are decent; however, you'll be able to find better recordings elsewhere. Overall, an okay early music to classical music collection with mediocre recordings. (2-stars)
There I was searching for an iTunes essentials for classical music, lo and behold I found one that lists 316 individual pieces of $10. Not only is this brilliant but a very rare opportunity in music collection history. The sound quality is excellent, the musicians are excellent, the playlist is excellent though I do not recognize most of them. Still, 24 hours for slightly under a tenner! Were Beethoven alive he'd have compsed a sequel to the 9th Symphony and call it "The Ode to great classical music for less than $10 in X major." Simply brilliant.
I enjoyed this music so much! There are so many songs! Not only do u get so much for only 10! But the quality is through the roof! A musical master piece and a clasical fan must have!
I love this album! You cannot beat the tremendous selections for the price! This has to be one of the best bargins that iTunes has put out yet. I have enjoyed listening to music that I would otherwise have to wait for on our Classical radio station. I have enjoyed creating many different playlists from this enormous amount of music. Thank you iTunes!
I have hundreds of CDs of classical music, but I still found things here that I wanted and as someone said, even if you only want 6-8 hours worth of this music, it's a worthwhile deal.
A wonderful collection of classical music...I feel that there were too many selections with vocals.
This compilation of classical music is an rather good purchase for its price. I find it to be of good sound and music quality. I have not heard of some of the composers included but i think that *most* of them were right to be chosen to be part of this collection.
You are bound to find something new. For me it was John Dowland, Haydn's string quartets, Faure's Requiem, Dvorak's 9th symphony, Hildegard... Is this worth $10?
This album is really great for studying. You could do a weeks worth of homework and never repeat a song. Listening to this music has helped me focus a lot better. Buy this album!!! It is definately worth every penny!!
316 songs for 10 bucks....how can you beat that? Some songs are over 10 minutes long. I couldn't believe this deal. I quickly bought this album because I'm sure the price will go up rather quickly. This whole collection has a nice variety of songs and it's perfect for someone who is just starting to listen to Classical music or someone who loves this type of music. It's perfect.
wanted Scheherazade only but was only allowed to purchase movements 1 & 3.
thank you soo much Naxos this is amazing i start my day everyday with this music
The 288th song is the same one used in John Wick 3. I give it five stars as it is the ONE with same pace and notes. I absolutely enjoy it.
I thought it was some sort of an error, 316 songs for $9.99!!!! That's a steal, and not to mention the quality of the music. Bravo.
Highly recommend
Yes, 24 hours of music for approximately $10 is a good bargain. While this collection is large and has some very good pieces in it, I was slightly disappointed with the amount of vocal work in it. Many pieces (or all, possibly) of "Messiah" are in this collection and the majority of them seem to be choral pieces. I was looking for INSTRUMENTAL-only, orchestral music. While there are quite a few instrumental-only pieces on here, there are far too many choral pieces for my taste. Overall, it's a bargain and has a fair selection of music; however, I'm disappointed with all the singing in this collection.
Even if i havent bought it yet this seems amazing but once you get into the bottom opera ones a few sound like hebrew chants or something. And wouldnt it also take a looong time to load?
I have to be honest. This is simply not the way I want to experience classical music. It is not how the great composers intended it to be, nor the orchestras when they were performing the pieces. When I from time to time listen to a compilation I would like it to be a unique selection of pieces made by someone who has a new angle, a new idea that enhance my experience. I saw some people here mentioning great value. I think it devaluates classical music in general. If you are looking for an introduction to the wonderful world of classical music, don't let this be your first classical music experience.
I'd researched iTunes for nearly an hour before I was lucky enough to stumble upon this album. Let me tell you, this is ,without-a-doubt, the greatest deal for an album of quality classical music. It does not contain all my favorite pieces, but with all the money I was able to save, purchasing them separately was not a problem :) If you are looking for a collection of classical music, I highly recommend purchasing this album.
I am absolutely not a classical connoisseur....just a run of the mill, once in a while classical music listener. And yes, I bought this CD by the law of averages (how many out of 316 items can be horrible for under $10.00????) And yes, I heavy handedly deleted.....I kept 199. And yes, 63 of them ended up in my playlist. The varietly is amazing! It covers many gendre.....some you may like, some maybe not. Even if you have a "basic" collection.....this CD still delivers. Overall this CD is definitely worth the money. And it is exactly what the title says: A PERFECT start!
If you want to add a wide variety of classical music in one collection, this is the CD for you--you would not be able to buy this individually for the price. Everything from the Brandenburg Concertos to the Messiah and lots in between. Great for listening to at work or studying! I am very impressed and would highly recommend to anyone.
Your not going to find a better deal than this. Over 20 albums of great music for the price of one. The variety is excellent. Well done Naxos and itunes!
For some reason it is not downloading to my computer...yet it took my money :(
An astonishing collection. If you are starting out with creating a classical music library, get it. I see someone else has listed them, so I won't bother. There are standards, with revelations of works that I never knew existed--e.g., the lute works of John Dowland. It includes the complete 1751 version of Handel's Messiah, with the exquisite boy voices used in important parts. Just get it. You can't go wrong. As others have said: THANK YOU, Naxos.
316 songs for $10? And you hesitate?
I was worried because of the price, I couldn't believe one album could bring so much enjoyment for the price. Wonderful.
this is just amazing, $10 and you get amazing, beautiful music... Thanx if you love classical music you have to have this!!!
This a wonderful album, and a tremendous deal. Anyone who likes music will find a lot to like in this album. Thank you ITunes for making this collection available at such a great price. You, out there may never again see such an unbeatable musical offering.
Not only is this album super affordable considering the sheer volume of music you’re getting, but the recordings are very good quality as well. I haven’t yet heard a recording that made me think “why did they include THIS one??”. This album also has really well-known pieces which are representative MANY periods of classical music, from medieval to late romantic, if not later. I can’t recommend this enough. It’s cheaper than most classical albums that are out there, and the quality (and quantity) of this product is something that you just won’t find anywhere else for the same price.
Great for when you're doing homework.
If you want to sample music, this might be an option for you. It is not tagged appropriately with the composer's name, and the quality reminds me of a 96 kbps mp3. Shop elsewhere.
Nice collaboration of music that, as it says, helps to start/bolster any collection. Contains a huge selection of music for a price that's agreeable to any budget and has decent recordings. My only complaint is that some of the songs seem to end rather abruptly, giving you the feeling that there's more to the song that you missed.
¡Horrible! (in Spanish)
This is definitely worth the money. These aren't the definitive recordings according to classical snobs, but they are a good introduction to many of the works. There's an error in the track listings, however. References to the "Masquerade Suite" in tracks 231 to 251 should be "Carnaval for Piano."
The only collection of great classical music I had before this was from a college course, but all of them were split up to show the different movements in classical music. These are all complete songs! Some really well known, you may say overrated, and some composers who are usually overlooked but every bit as wonderful. You won't regret it, I promise!!!
If you love classic Music this is for you. Great for starters, and a good verity of composers.
At $9.99 for 24 hours of great performences of a large variety of the greatest music of Western Civilization, I'm hard pressed to think of anything negative to say. Not everything is perfect (eg, the performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons felt a bit lifeless to me) but there's so much here that's so good that I really must recommend this to everybody, everywhere.
Even if most of the songs on here aren't to your liking, who cares? It's over 300 songs for only $10! You can't find a better deal on Itunes with expanding the classical collection on your ipod or mp3 player. I would buy this even if I didn't like classical music!
Loved this collection. There isn’t a song I don’t like. And the price is a bargain. I’m so pleased by this addition to my music.
I love classical music and this album is wonderful.
Even if the discerning ear objects to the quality, or lack thereof, within the recordings, it is well worth the purchase. Anyone can start with this collection, and if a favorite emerges, the listener can always look into other artists' interpretations of the work. After all, that is usually how we process what is essential from what isn't. The great thing about this collection is the sheer exposure one gets to such a vast amount of classical music. Of course not everybody will appreciate everything, and that's okay ....but it's the chance to listen to such a vast array of music that really makes this soooooo worth having!!!!
I thought by the longest way that this music was the best classical item on the Itunes. It is a good item to play your homework to, and having lots of that I do. The price it is also perfect. Sorry if saying I have been things different, for I am using a translator, and I speak not the language of the Americans.
Best deal I've ever gotten on iTunes!
I hate it when music is sold like peanut butter--you know, "Buy the family size, it's cheaper per ounce"--a piece of music is either worth having or it isn't. But, my God, what a bargain! Buy this collection!

Good choice of music. However...itunes downloads do not show names of composers - only performers - ruins potentially educational role...
Un disque de 316 classiques du romantique, du baroque du classique, du moyen âge, de la renaissance... à 10$! N'hésitez pas, la plupart des interprétations en valent vraiment la peine.
Good price and songs!
