 Perfect For Its Intended Purpose June 19, 2004

This double CD helps you relax. Period. It doesn't demand any more of you than to pop it in, sit (or lay) back and relax. You don't have to be a classical music expert of any sort to appreciate this, it isn't meant to be "listened" to. And I love it. I work at a rock/metal radio station and as much as I love that type of music, I own dozens of rock CDs, oftentimes it's the last thing I want to hear more of at home. Sometimes, complete silence is the best relaxation "technique" but in lieu of that, try "The Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World...Ever".

I simply love piano music. If you're looking to relax, enjoy a peaceful time, then you must check out this album. If you truly enjoy piano music, this album is by far one of the best you can purchase.
As it says....it is the "Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World...Ever..." Well, I haven't listened to all piano albums in the world, but I don't need to, this one is just perfect for me, and I think you will agree!
I would say the pianists' are extremely accomplished. At times, I would admit-it's a bit 'spine tingling'!
So Relaxing!!! August 8, 2005

These CDs are so much more than I expected! There are the classics you hear on all piano compilations, but also some additions that I've never heard before but really enjoyed. I don't hear background noise on any of the tracks--just pure & simple piano with the ocassional accompaniment of a few other instruments. If you're looking for something to get you to relax or to play during dinner, this is it. As a pianist, I enjoy it even more for those times when I'm not able to play the songs myself!
Clean, gentle, and soothing piano music March 30, 2005

I think it's very difficult to discover an entire CD (though I will admit I prefer disc 1) that reels through the emotions the piano can evoke. Don't worry, it's not all solo piano; there are orchestral accompaniments throughout, but this is one of the simplest, sweetest renditions of Clair de Lune I have heard. I had no problem with the correct labeling of the songs when I downloaded it to my computer, though. And I think this is a GREAT beginner's classical CD--that is, if you're not sure which composer you'd like to try something else from, you get a good variety. (No focusing on just baroque, thank you very much.) Happy Listening.

This album was a "try and see" purchase but I love it. It makes great dinner music, great music to drift off to sleep with, or just nice background filler during social events needing a softer tone. It is not all solo piano music if that s what you are after; the other instruments blend very well however and don't challenge the piano playing. It is a piano album after all!
