1.		The Only Opera Album You'll Ever Need by Covent Garden Royal Opera House Orchestra Price: £6.37 Customer Review: The tracks on this cd are excellent and well worth the money. I get worried about the packaging of this sort of disc though because it reminds me of Tesco's attempt to sell wine to the masses by renaming a mediocre chablis as 'Good with meat' or whatever. If this was called 'Fine Opera' or 'An Opera... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The Only Choral Album You'll Ever Need from Victor Price: £6.37 Customer Review: whoever wrote the 'whats on this cd' blurb mislead me to buy this item - I needed the WHOLE of the Messiah AND THE WHOLE of Faure's Requiem and reading this blurb you think you have it - but guess what - there are only extracts - the titles given are just for the whole work - not the individual... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7 by C. VPO/Kleiber Price: £11.68 Customer Review: I am not musically literate, i.e i dont know a crotchet from a quaver but i know what i like, is it an exagerration to say that if we had to show one example of the greatness and potential of human culture, to say some visiting aliens, would it be reasonable to play them these recordings?

4.		Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies by Berliner Philharmoniker Herbert Karajan Price: £25.39 Customer Review: I recently purchased this box set, knowing that Karajan is one of the all time greats. The performance its self is very good, however on my high quality audio equipment I was diappointed by the sound quality of the recording. There is a constant noise of static in the background of every single... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

The Essential Classics Collection by Myung-Whun Chung Géza Anda Rudolf Baumgartner Trevor Pinnock Karl Böhm Eugen Jochum Ferdinand Leitner Ferenc Fricsay Neeme Järvi Claudio Abbado Price: £7.78 Customer Review: I bought this as a gift for my niece, since I wanted her to be educated about classical music as she was on her way to college.

7.		Elgar: Enigma Variations from Universal Classics Price: £10.48 Customer Review: It's lovely to hear the VPO in this repertoire, particularly as in recent years Elgar has not had a great reputation beyond the UK, and especially in Europe. The sound is lovely, with an excellent recording to match. There is nothing quirky or eccentric about the performances - I regard that as a... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No.2 / Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No.1 by Sviatoslav Richter Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra Stanislaw Wislocki Wiener Symphoniker Herbert Karajan Price: £4.98 Customer Review: a sublime recording from the soloist, surpassed only by his earlier sanderling recording. on this version is there an enormously irritating fluff note by the horn at 6:21 in the rachmaninov slow movement?

9.		Strauss Family: Waltzes from Double Decca Price: £7.78 Customer Review: Really what can one write about Strauss or the greatest interpreter, Willi Boskovsky? This is a wonderful CD set full of Strauss' music played as it should be. The recording is excellent and is sure to quickly become a favourite. I bought it to supplement my collection of Strauss music and can... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Mozart: Requiem from Deutsche Grammophon Price: £7.98 Customer Review: This is a superb account of this Choral masterpiece from the mid-seventies and re-mastered in digital sound.
