Advantages: Great songs - wonderful, popular tunes Disadvantages: A few songs aren't as good as the others
..., Janice Watson and by mezzo-soprano, Ruby Philogene. It's nice enough but definitely not one of the best tracks on the CD. The part in the British Airways TV advert is nice and is probably the nicest part of the piece but the rest of it isn't as good.
10. Handel: Sarabande (04:04)
This piece, featured in the Levi's TV advert, is played by the City of Prague PhilharmonicOrchestra. This stately, majestic piece is made up of different variations of the main theme which are played marvellously. This track is very good and is also one of the best on the CD.
11. Prokofiev: Romeo & Juliet - Montagues and Capulets (04:07)
This is played by the RoyalPhilharmonicOrchestra. This powerful march depicting the feuding families from Shakespeare's tragedy definitely is one of the best tracks on the CD and has a loud, strong start, perfect...

Advantages: Great performances of popular favourites and some rare gems Disadvantages: Barely none, with perhaps slight issues with sound.
...", the recording of the Gothenburg Symphony under Neeme Järvi is one of the best I have heard (as are the other rhapsodies in the set from which this has been taken from), being rich, sonorous, and jubilant. This is followed by Leroy Anderson's comical "The Typewriter," one of the numerous light pieces that Anderson wrote in his life, and features the tapping of a typewriter to great effect. It's a perfect "pops" lollipop and provides endless hours of fun after drinking a bit of… ummm… happy beveriges.
