Bruch: Scottish Fantasia; Hindemith: Violin Concerto; Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante

Advantages: A definite easy listen
Disadvantages: Maybe too easy

...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...

.... Not much can be said about it except that it's an excellent recording of this famous classical piece of music. 2. Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker - Waltz of the Flowers (06:45) This piece that is featured in the film Fantasia is played by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.

Vivaldi: Four Seasons - Spring - first movement (03:08) This is played by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra with the solo violin part played by Anthony Marwood. This piece is amazing, it is probably the most famous of the four seasons by Vivaldi as the main theme from it is commonly found as mobile phone ring tones but this recording is an awful lot better than found in any ring tone and all of it is found...
