Classical Music 101 Reviews:
Trivia 
2009-09-21 - We had fun with this CD while on a road trip. I put the CD on and my husband and I tried to name where we had heard the songs from. It was a great way to pass the time while riding! Plus the answers were right there on the cd cover for us check ourselves!
Classical Music 
2009-09-19 - I was looking for a more complete compilation of famous archestral arias. This one has too many short short excerpts.
This CD contains just samples 
2007-10-10 - When i bought this CD, paid more attention to the number and type of tracks, and didn't realised that the package had only 1 disc. 99 tracks in just one CD could only be possible if... each track had a mere 30 or 45 seconds. My mistake, so i was disappointed with the result, and because someone could be lead to think that this CD has 99 complete tracks, make no mistake: its a compilation of brief samples.

2007-08-23 - This is a great CD, however, it needs to be listed as just "snipets" of classical pieces - they are just excerpts from each classical theme.
It's only snippets of the music! 
2006-02-11 - This CD only contains 30-60 second long snippets of each of the pieces. It could be a teaching tool but is not something you can just put on to listen. It does contain reference to popular TV and Film works that contain the music.
