11.		The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World...Ever! from Classics Price: £19.59 Customer Review: While there are some lovely pieces of music on these CDs they don't match the titles. When I bought this 2-set CD I thought that maybe I had received Vol2. or something by mistake as none of the tracks match the information on the CD insert. I decided to check by listening to the samples here on... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

14.		Verdi - Aida from EMI Classics Price: £16.57 Customer Review: There are so many good recordings of "Aida" available and I own - and play - eight of them, but I keep coming back to this one as my favourite. This might partly be for purely personal reasons: it was one of the first sets I bought when as a nineteen year old I was just discovering opera and I still... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		Fauré: Requiem op.48 · Pavane op.50 · Elégie op.24 · Après un Rêve op.7 by Kathleen Battle Andreas Schmidt Philharmonia Orchestra Carlo Maria Giulini Boston Symphony Orchestra Seiji Ozawa Price: £6.98 Customer Review: This CD does not include Lyrics/translation of any of tracks. Leaflet explains some brief (informative though) backgrounds only. I would love to understand what they were singing, and was disappointed.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

16.		1001 Nights: Four stories from Arabian Nights from Naxos Price: £4.88 Customer Review: The story teller is fabulous, really drawing you into the story. Thestory is then followed with the piece of music reflecting the story. Itis a brilliant format. My 5 year old loves being allowed to listen tothe story and then the music as part of the calm down before he goes tobed. Although small... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

17.		Elgar - Violin Concerto; Serenade for Strings by James Ehnes Price: £12.69 Customer Review: This recording has received rave reviews but I am afraid I found it a disappointment . That is not to say that Ehnes does not play beautifully and the orchestral playing is fine, but I found the performance very episodic and to be frank in the accompanied cadenza in the finale my ears wandered and I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

18.		Mahler - Symphony 2 by Philharmonia Orchestra Price: £8.79 Customer Review: If Amazon would let me give this 7 stars then I would! Even though the recording is over 40 years old it still sounds well. Klemperer brings an amazing sense of occasion to this performance - it's like all you would expect a "live" performance to be and then a bit more on top. First movement:... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.		Smooth Classics by London Symphony Orchestra Customer Review: Every year at this time Classic FM bring out a new triple CD set - and this year's is even better than the ones that have come before. I didn't think they'd be able to better "Time to Relax", which was last year's album - but they have! And they've done it in some style too by choosing music from... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.		Pavarotti - The Ultimate Collection from Decca Price: £11.68 Customer Review: What a let down! I bought this for Nessum Dorma and found that the cupboard of his repertoire is actually pretty bare. Other than "Just one Cornetto" there aren't any big hits on this album. Surely they could have included the 1975 classic "everyone's a fruit and nut case"? More importantly, none of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
