I dont want this album to appear on every search I do on amazon. If I search for rzewski or sorabji or glenn gould for example, I have no idea what this album has to do with this. And definitively you cant listen to classic as you can listen to pop music, its is a sin to take all this pieces from the different composers take some sections out and then put it on a album. This is a insult for the composer and interpret of this works.

This is a mere rating for those of you that might have be into art rock music,Yes,Tangerine Dream,Rick Wakeman,Mike Oldfield, looking for something a bit on the classical side, to relax to, and quite possibly enjoy.Having come from a family of piano teachers and knowing before hand alot of Bach, and others who have several classics on this double cd.I have to admit that the 2nd cd( side 2) is better than the first, but that is just my thoughts.Had I a little more insight I might had passed this cd up, and went out and bought
Rick Wakeman Night airs, or Wakeman & Wakeman, for the type of classical music I was looking for.If your my dad’s age of Seventy something and your much into the old classics I think this cd might just be for you, but if your like me, and into art rock music, looking for a Sunday morning relaxing piece, look futher, or piece together something yourself.Hope this helps in your knowledge for a taste of the most relaxing classical music in the universe.

Who needs Zoloft when you’ve got Leos Janacek? (…though I suspect, of all the composers snipped and included in this prescription CD, Janacek would be the most astonished to find his music classified as relaxing…)
So I ran into this guy, see, while I was cross-country skiing in Minnesota, by the way, and he came out and asked me what I did for a living and I told him I was a musician, and he says ‘what kind’ and I says ‘mostly Baroque but a little modern’ and he looks puzzled and says ‘is that something like classical’ and so then we get into this long discussion of why ‘classical music has never been popular’ as we go wheezing over the frozen turf, me singing silently “Good King Sauerkraut looked out / on his feets uneven / when the snoo lay around about…”
“Snoo? What’s snoo?”
“I don’t know. What’s new with you?”
As you may have guessed by now, the idea of using music as an analgesic gives me the willies. Through most of history, except for a very small number of pampered rich folk, the chance to hear music at all was a rare and exciting treat. The invention of the phonograph – my teenage son smirks and snorts when I use the word phonograph – has cheapened music … for better and for worse. These days, for a few dollars, you can hear most of the greatest music of all eras and all cultures in the comfort of your home. That’s the better. But you can also treat it as wall-paper or else as a ‘relaxing’ foot bath.
The sound you hear is not distortion on the CD; it’s me, tearing my hair.

Perfect music to end the work day. After listening to this I can face the evening. If the morning is hard, a little at lunch time gets me through the afternoon.
