GREAT CLASSICAL PERFORMANCES (1903-1998)


VA - Sony Classical, Great Performances (1903-1998) [1999] (4 x CD's)


Collected here are samples of classical audio recordings made throughout Columbia's first 95 years. Beyond just the music and the copious liner notes, the set's four different CDs display the evolution of label artwork.. I think this a beautiful collection of music for the home or the car. Very relaxing. Lovely. (Amazon)
