Smooth Classics

[BOX SET] - from Classic fM

Just when you thought you owned every possible calming/relaxing/smooth/chillout classical track, up pops Smooth Classics for Rough Days, a three-CD set from Classic FM. The format is familiar: slow movements (such as the gripping Adagietto from Mahler's Symphony No. 5) mixed with slushy pieces from the 19th century (such as Bruch's Romance for viola and orchestra), peppered with a few contemporary treats (witness one of Ludovico Einaudi's piano pieces).

The Art of Segovia

Listen to the romance of the guitar with this fascinating 2 disk compilation - The Art of Segovia - that reminds us what a protean figure he was. Segovia single-handedly put the instrument on the map by making classical guitar concerts popular events, broadening the instrument's repertory through commissions and transcriptions, and convincing even doubters that it could be a vehicle for serious music.

The Classical Love Album

A 3 disc set of superbly romantic classical music. From The Four Seasons to Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet to Captin Corelli's Mandolin. (For full list of tracks, click here)
Reviewer: A music fan from Lightwater, UK There's no one home. You turn the lights out, fill the room with candles, sit back and listen. Every piece on the album seems familiar and all seem to fill the room with a sense of serenity and calm. Whether taking time on your own or with a special someone this album doesn't disappoint. Personally I've never been a true devotee to classical music, but there have always been those familiar favourites whose names escaped me, making it difficult to track them down on CD. Now, all of them are here on one album. A truly fantastic collection of classical masterpieces.

Reviewer: from Reading, England These are the piano concertos that taught the whole world how to write piano concertos. And they are played by the man who redefined how to play the piano. Absolutely second to none.
