Customer Review: I find Maurice Ravel's music among the most unique and wonderful of the twentieth century. It marks the sublime marriage of pensive impressionism with--and many music scholars might disagree with me on this matter--a vibrant late-romanticism. There are few collections that highlight this grandness... more info
Customer Review: The selections chosen are, for the most part, to my taste, but the volume is comprised of fewer supurb selections, such as those masterpieces by Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart that were found in Vol. I.

Customer Review: This is an amazing CD. I recommend it highly for reading on a rainy day, relaxing, or just reading the paper on a Sunday morning. It's one of my top 10 relaxation CDs.
Customer Review: FIFTEEN CDs for $34.98, or a good deal less! I repeat, what a price! I almost overlooked this Jubilee Edition, thinking it contained a few re-released recordings that I'd have on vinyl anyway. But this is too good a deal to ignore, virtually a career retrospective on the Prometheus of the... more info
