Choice FM Presents Carnival Classics - Various Artists

Advantages: Good background listening
Disadvantages: Odd mixture of music on the Uplifting disc

...I will say from the start that I am certainly no expert on classical music. I do often have Classic FM on the radio at home and recently bought their 2 CD set, Voices 2008. This is a compilation containing a selection of vocal pieces from the worlds of choral music and opera. There are pieces in this collection which you would immediately recognise on hearing them, even if their names are not familiar. In the set is a CD of relaxing pieces and a CD of uplifting pieces, so you have the choice of which best suits your mood. The notes which accompany the set are very brief, so here I am adding my own impressions along with information I have found from other sources. Track Listing Relaxing CD 1 Elgar - 'Lux Aeterna'. This is a vocal arrangement of the piece titled Nimrod from the Enigma Variations. Elgar wrote... Read review

Advantages: Suitable For All RNB LOVERS. Puts You In a Dancing Mood.
Disadvantages: Quite Exspensive.

...Kiss Presents R&B Classics - Various Artists Wow what a brillant c.d. Doesnt look all great from the front cover of the c.d but once you pop the c.d into the cd player it sureley does get you in the mood for dancing.. Its not all sad love songs its got the ones that wil make you want to get up and dance the night away. Defenitly the right c.d to listen to when you are going out on a girley night out or maybe even a girley night in with a couple of drinks. Although most people dont really buy c.ds no more as you can download them off the internet for free you wil get the better quality off the c.d instead of a really bad copy of the songs. I Would Reccomend this to anyone well you defenitly have to be a rnb person if you are not then just have a listen i dont know what you would not like about this music its fantastic!... Read review

Advantages: enjoyable
Disadvantages: nothing new

...This is a gorgeously packaged 3 disc set called 'Classic fm at the Movies. It looks wonderful, from the digi-pack cover and slick black iconic silhouettes adorning each side. A look at the track-listing shows that there are some enjoyable tracks here Star Wars, The Mission, The English Patient, Witness, Out of Africa these are all classic, no pun intended, tracks. A few titles jumped out though, titles that I felt were worthy additions to a compilation album; titles like Stage Beauty, Arsène Lupin and Rachel Portman's Oliver Twist. Some thought has clearly been put into this, making it a good collection of very fine film music. Although some track such as gladiator (suite) are poor imitations. However it is a decent introduction, to the novice, for decent classical music. Disc: 1 1. Superman 2. Back To The Future 3... Read review
