Customer Reviews:
"Best Harpsichord Recording".......2005-11-05
I have always loved the sound of the Harpsichord and for many years hearing poorly recorded or played Harpsichord this treasure is a must have. From the fine compositions to the good sound quality this CD is definately a keeper.
Plenty of music for a moderate price as well.
Great.......2005-08-09
This CD is very very good just what I was looking for. I highly recommend this CD if you are planning on purchasing a Harpsicord CD, this one is the best.
a must-have for harpsichord lovers.......2004-04-30
I love the sound of this most unusual instrument, the harpsichord. Especially the fast intricately melodic songs. Very enjoyable. This "Greatest Hits" includes many compositions perfectly suited to this wonderful old predecessor to the piano. There's even a little funny trivia thrown in: on the song sheet is written: Q:"what did the famous conductor Sir Thomas say that the harpsichord sounds like? A: "Like two skeletons screwing on a hot tin roof" :)

keeno.......2001-01-08
This is a fun cd. BYRD, BULL, BACH ETC come through great Scarlatti bits sound like a flock of unhappy cows running of a field of burnt popcorn but those bits generally do unless played on the African Kalimba [or thumb piano] in Africa where I need not hear them.
This is a well engineered CD. Many featuring the harpsichord demand a level of equipment beyond that of any regular person with bills, which means this disk sounds just fine on a boom box. Everybody in the family will like some part of this disk `cept for the 13 year old whose lost to punk rock or hip hop.
The Most Superb Harpsichord Sampler.......2000-07-27
I can't imagine a better sampler of harpsichord 'hits' played by one of the great stereo-era masters. A full complement of emotions is displayed here, from the most delicate and sparing texture to the most rip-roaring martial roar. If you're wondering what the harpsichord is about, or if you're already a fan and want a great sampler to play for your own delight and amusement, you cannot go wrong with this recording.

I'm Mad About Baroque.......2007-01-05
I love this CD and am so pleased to have purchased it. I put it on almost daily at work -- it is the perfect length equipt with the perfect choice music.
Amazing!.......2002-12-18
I thouroughly enjoy this CD! The music is beautiful enough to listen to all by itself, but also quiet and peaceful enough to listen to while studying for exams or doing homework. Mad about Baroque has been in my discman for many weeks and accompanied to the library many times. This is a great CD!

Much better than typical compilations........2007-04-02
This and the other compilations in this DECCA series are excellent. Much thought went into the choices of recordings, with high caliber artists performing the selections. If only all compilations were this good . . .

Great collection!.......2006-10-23
These two CDs are filled with very interesting and quite charming works for a very decent price! Although not all of these recordings are the best ones available, all of them are very well played, making this album an absolutely enjoyable collection, for children from 1 to 92!
Wonderful music!.......2005-02-09
My 3 year old loves listening to the story and music of Peter and the Wolf. Each animal is represented by an instrument. Peter is the violin, the bird is the flute, the cat is the clarinet, the duck is the oboe, Grandfather is the bassoon, the horn is the wolf, and the drums are the hunters. When my son hears the different sounds he loves identifying the characters. The other music is lovely and it's great to listen to in the car. I highly recommend this CD.
disappointed.......2001-07-17
Yes the music is good, but how could they make a recording of 'Carnival of the Animals' that did not have the rhyming narration before each animal. Beware.

Brilliant !.......1999-10-05
This is both an unusual and magnificent recording by the great guitarist John Williams. What makes this disc so unusual is that Williams chose to have himself accompanied by a second guitar, two marimbas, and bass. It all makes for a wonderful and joyous sound. Highly recommended.

Pretty Damn Good.......2004-07-06
I received as a gift the box set of all four Hooked On Classics CD's. As an avid fan of classical music, I was quite shocked to hear DRUMS in the background! I didn't really know what the Hooked On Classics series was, so I didn't know what to expect. As such, I eventually got used to the percussion, and found that I liked the fourth CD the best of all of them. The drums are more tolerable, and the recording quality is much improved over the other volumes. The playing is superb; on par with any legitimate recording made by any professional orchestra. The selections are diverse, and the arrangements are refreshing. HOC 4 was my link to many of the full-length versions of the excerpts featured, and I especially like the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th tracks (the 8th track is simply an extended version of the 1st, which makes it a much better rendition). The harpsichord playing in the 7th track is outstanding, as are the arrangements for this track. The climax will give you chills. All in all, an excellent album. I give it four stars only because as a die-hard purist, I don't suppose Bach and Vivaldi and Scarlatti would be too happy if they were to hear percussion along with their music. It would be interesting to see what the tracks would sound like without this.
Great CD, specially the adagio........2004-01-28
I love this CD in particular, because it introduced me to various greatest hits of baroque. I used it to practice my music as a teenager. I recommed this to you, specially if you have kids, because the drum sounds, make it easier to listen to the new generations. I loved the Pachelbel, and the adagio part is Super Excellent.
It's No Louis Clark & the Royal Philharmonic... But it's ok.......2003-12-07
Back in 81 when I got the original Hooked on Classics record as a gift (which I still have), I discovered the beauty and power of classical music in a different way. Now, classical music makes up 1/3 of my music library because of that compilation of classics (thanks to Louis Clark and the Royal Philharmonic).
So would I say this volume 4 has the same effect? I'd answer no, but I did like tracks 2 & 7.
No So Great.......2003-10-29
Once again another pathetic attempt at recreating what Louis Clark did with the original Hooked on the Classics. He succeeded by getting many of us hooked to the classics...something this album probably can't and won't do.
