Advantages: All the pieces are short Disadvantages: There are 4 of them
This is a truly awesome collection of the most popular classics. I have to say that it is probably factually correct and thus not questionable under the Trades Description Act. Here are 4, not 3, but 4 CDs packed full with a seemingly endless flow of tunes you will instantly recognise. Now, let's be honest, who will this appeal to? Well not me that's for sure, but here are the top ten reasons why buying this CD collection may be an option for you:
1. You are a child under the age of 10.
2. You want a quick bluffers guide to classical music so you can impress your mother-in-law at the Proms
3. You are a music teacher and need a resource for the class
4. You are a Classic FM fan
5. You are writing a music quiz and have no other classical CDs
6. You have a short attention span
7. You are buying something posh for your working class ...
