Advantages: A decent collection of varied music Disadvantages: Several 'sections' of music
...at all...!
A crucial note is that the Rachmaninov ambiguously named 'Piano Concerto No.3' is not the Concerto in its entireity, or even- as I was surprised to discover- the First Movement. It is a section of the First Movement which stops rather abruptly. This is a great shame as to that point this track was one of the best interpretations I had come across.
A list of the tracks, by demand:
Disc: 1
1. Sunrise (Sprach Zarathustra) (Opening)
2. Montagues and Capulets - Philadelphia Orchestra

...GENERAL HISTORY LEADING TO SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE
Hector Berlioz was a French composer, born in 1803 in a little village of La Côte Saint-André. At a very early age he learned to play the flute and guitar and composed a number of little songs, two flute quintets and even a small opera "Estelle et Némorin" (Estelle incidentally being his first love interest, when he was only 13 and she in her late twenties).

...Metallica, the men, the myths, the legends. Ever think that you would here a band of such sorts playing with a symphonyorchestra? Well? Why are you laughing? This CD is just that and so much more. Metallica perform some of their greatest tracks with a symphonyorchestra playing with them right behind them! An idea that many would shrug off and say it would never work. Well when you hear this you will be thinking again, trust me. There truly is nothing quite like this and has to be heard to be believed. Even the heaviest Metallica songs make it to the album, songs such as 'Master of puppets' and 'The call of Ktulu' all with a sympony orchestra chucked in for good measure. One thing left to say, why are you still sitting here reading this when you could be out buying the thing? Now go go go!...
