Largo Reviews:
The best of quiet baroque 
2001-09-18 - "Hey, where are Pachebel's Cannon and Bach's Air?"
They're not "Largo" movements and when Naxos says "Largo" they mean it, delivering 20 "Largo" movements (75 minutes) from the Baroque era. And while those two famous works are missing there is more than enough familiar and delightful music compiled here to make for a wonderful sampler. Casual classical fans will immediately recognize Handel's Largo from "Serse" as well as the movements from Vivaldi's Guitar Concerto, Flautino Concerto, and "Winter" from the Four Seasons. Other delights include movements from Bach's Piano Concerto in F Minor (played on a piano, rather than the harpsicord you would expect, to great effect) and Double Concerto in D Minor.
The performances and quality of the recordings from which these selections have been compiled are all first rate. If you enjoy relaxing to baroque then this disc is for you.
Very Lovely, Very Relaxing
1999-05-22 - I'm not sophisticated when it comes to classical music, but I really like this CD. With just the slow bits there isn't anything to intrude harshly on your conciousness, but there is plenty of complexity and soulfull beauty to enjoy when you want to pay attention.
Largo:Two Thumbs, Toes, and Heads up
1998-11-24 - Well, largo is a well rounded tune. I especialy like when they change key signatures. How do I know they do this: We're playing ths in band. It sounds good, a good sond to crank up on a rany day. Just don't turn tha base up too much.
