Customer Reviews:
classic music CD.......2007-06-27
The CD was well represented by the clips on the Amazon website and came in time for our event. We did have a problem with the charge but that was taken care of promptly. Great service.
Good for beginners.......2007-02-15
It is an excellent collection of classical music. I would recommend this CD if you have a friend who don't like classical music, since it has the most beautiful overtures and portions of famous artists. If you are a Classic Music Savvy you probably will not be impressed by it, unless you want to play the CD as background music in a friends gathering.
Great mix.......2007-02-14
All the best composers! Over an hour of music. A samble of the greatest pieces.
Good for first-timer.......2007-01-22
This is the first time I have ever bought a classical music CD and I was very pleased with this one. It has a good variety of selections. I would buy it again.
25 Classical Favorites cd.......2007-01-06
This CD has so many of my favorite, lively classical music -- love it!!

Customer Reviews:
Half the tracks are march or played like one.......2007-06-05
This disc reminded me of Leonard Bernstein's conducting: somehow many of his conducting session became marches. Many tracks on this disc is like that. I am a novice when it comes to classical music, so part of allure of this disc was that it contained many titles I didn't recognize, so it wasn't a total loss. I guess I should have read the track listing more carefully... what is Washington Post by Sousa doing on dance compilation?
decent for dancing.......2006-12-31
There are quite a few tracks on here that do well for recital music. THere's different ones from the unoriginal swan lake's and nutcracker..my students loved to hear what came next....it gets better towards the end of the cd!
Recommended.......2005-10-03
For those who would enjoy a fast, fun, and cheerful kind of classical music, I guess this cd is a very good choice. Also, if you want to make your kids a classic music lover, you could start with this fun, lighthearted music.
Wonderful selection, but not really dancing music.......2000-06-27
I agree that this is indeed absolutely beautiful light classical music. It is indeed a perfect beginning to a lifelong passion to have classical music playing in the background or to turn up the volume and immerse yourself in it. But it consists of mostly ballet music, several marches, polkas, an entrance of the gladiators, a gavotte and just to show that he can-can, a delightful little march by Beethoven of all people (Turkish March). Or can you dance to the continuous hypnotic rhythm of Ravel's Bolero? Quite tiring, I would think. Nevertheless, great music at an astounding price. Consider buying all or most of the "25 Favorites" series. You will not regret it
This Will Keep You Dancing.......2000-03-30
If you like to dance and you like classical, this cd is a must have. Who says you can't dance to classical? This CD proves those who think so wrong. Highlights include Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty, Mendhelsson's Midsummer Night's Dream, Gounod's Dance of the Slave Girls and Faust, Dvorak's Slavonic Dance, Offenbach's can-can (yeah!) Katchaturian's Sabre Dance and Ravel's Bolero. All these are excellent. Sousa Marches are here too. You must get this CD if you are a serious lover of the classical. In fact, this was my first Classical CD. Make it a part of your life and dance to the great beats of the classics ! Yeah I'm serious.

find better for your money.......2002-11-11
This album is a collection of many Sousa Favorites, true; but they are not performed well. I think the Paul Washington Marching Band should have spent a little more time in the studio before leetting this one hit the stores. In every song there are notable blips or cracks by trumpeters, trombonists, piccoloists, or all of the above. In many the feel for time is staggering, as if the musicians decided to each go at their own tempo. Even in that classic favorite 'The Washington Post March', there are major tuning problems.
If you want a high quality recording of Sousa marches, buy a better CD.

Customer Reviews:
a bit of a disappointment but still a real FIND!.......2006-12-28
This is a review of a CD featuring Theatrical Pipe Organ with Percussive Accompaniment, on a recent CD put out by Hit Thing Records- late 1950s recordings of some old symphonic warhorses such as "Ritual Fire Dance, Theme from Sheherezade, Polovtsian Dances, In a Persian Market, Stars Fell on Alabama, Waltz of the Flowers [and 12 others], played with gothic verve by the late Robert Hunter- d. 09/2001- aka "Georges Montalba", and with accompaniment by 2 percussionists under the direction of Mr. Hunter.
I am a collector of unusual pipe organ recordings, featuring organs with percussions or other rhythmic accompaniment- so when I read the "Hit Thing" [records] blurb about this particular CD as having "rhythmic accompaniment," I was willing to put up with the fact that it was [advertised as being] in monophonic sound which I normally loathe. So I bit, paid my $$, then put it on the box and had a listen, only to hear that not only was it in mono but that it was not even from an original master tape [back then, master tapes were routinely erased and reused, a biting shame!] but was apparently copied from 2 monophonic LPs with some surface noise supressed and buried underneath a cloud of stereophonic reverb- so I did some research and found out that the original recording was put out by Dick Miller of Somerset Records back in 1958- that year, was the first year that stereophonic LPs came on the market, so I figured that a geniune stereophonic LP of this stuff had to be floating around out there somewhere, so I scoured the Goodwill stores and other used record marts in the [seemingly vain] hope of finding a rare stereophonic specimen in good condition- Et Voilà! I found one April '06 in a Seattle Goodwill in an overcrowded record bin, one LP with a torn cover and the other LP intact, 2 separate albums, the the older 1957 disc ["High Fidelity Pipe Organ Favorites"] in mono but the 1958 disc {"A Stereo Fantasy in Pipe Organ & Percussion"] in glorious stereo! The discs themselves were in great condition considering the age and poor storage they'd suffered in the decades past- so I took 'em home, gave 'em a good bath, dropped needle in groove, and found despite a welter of crackle, that the sound underneath was undistorted and clear as a bell! so I ran 'em through a CEDAR Declicker [a miracle box] and made a CD dub, and that is what I listen to, having given the Hit Thing CD away.
Having said all that, the sound of the Hit Thing CD is OK to non-critical listeners - certainly listenable, just not all that it could have been. I still applaud Hit Thing for putting this utterly unique material out in the first place! It is a real treat to hear the Lorin Whitney Studio Pipe Organ with brilliant percussive accompaniment, in a performance for the ages- and I recommend this CD highly to pipe organ fans.
