...Marketplace seem to begin from £2,98. For anybody even remotely interested in classical music and who already have a compilation album that contains all the usual suspects, this is ideal. Of recent times there are only a few compilations that have music I don't already have 15 times over, and thus "Colours of the Orchestra" was a really nice surprise. Warmly recommended if you want to expand you collection with something a little different. TRACK LISTING Disc 1 1. Alfvén: Midsommarvaka (12:43) 2. Anderson: The Typewriter (1:43) 3. J.S.

...exactly say im 'into' it, i jus fancied a change. Its a good CD if u want to relax or for background music if u have sophisticated dinner parties! Not one of the most used CDs iv bought. In fact i only listen to it about once evry 2 months so it isn't exactly excellent value for money. Below is a list of the tracks incase ur interested. The CD is priced around £19.99 and available from most music stores such as HMV and Virgin Megastore. CD 1 Vivaldi - The Four Seasons Pachelbel: Canon JS Bach - Air 'on the G string' Mozart - Ave verum corpus Handel - Largo JS Bach - Jesus bleibet meine Freude Mozart - Clarinet Concerto Beethoven - 'Emporer' Concerto Mascagni - Intermezzo Bruch - Violin Concerto Rutter - The Lort is my shepherd Saint-Saens - Aquarium Holst - Venus Chopin - Piano Concerto No 1 in E minor Faure - Pie Jesu Shostakovich...
