 Relaxing Music Suited For Today's Busy Lifestyles Jul 27, 2009
"A vast and tender calm
Seems to descend from the sky
Lit by the moon
This is the exquisite hour" ~ Paul Verlaine ~
The above quote is taken from a poem by 19th Century Fench poet Paul Verlaine titled "La Bonne Chanson No. 6." His words fittingly describe the ambience of this classical album which promises unruffled musical moments just perfect for unwinding and relaxing, or when you're driving in a busy freeway that virtually looks like a parking lot.
This two-CD-set, "The Most Relaxing Piano Album In The World...Ever!" presents rich and varied classical favorites from the most brilliant composers from Baroque Era's Johann Sebastian Bach to Modern Era's Erik Satie as interpreted by various pianists from Stephen Hough and Dame Moura Lympany to Walter Giesekeng and Peter Donohue.
With this compilation, be ready to be mesmerized by the tranquil beauties of thirty-six of the most relaxing piano pieces of all-time most especially Debussy's "Clair de Lune," Beethoven's "Fur Elise" and "Piano Sonata No. 14 in C Sharp Minor" (Moonlight Sonata), Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and Mozart's "Piano Concerto No. 21" (Elvira Madigan).
You will also be delighted with Liszt's "Libestraum No. 1 in A Flat," Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody On A Theme of Paganini," Chopin's "Etude In E Op. 10 No. 3" (Tristesse) and "Nocturne in E Flat Op. 9 No. 2," "Mendelssohn's "Fruhlingslied" (Spring Song) and Debussy's "La Fille Aux Cheveux De Lin" (The Girl With The Flaxen Hair).
Most of the greatest pianistic composers' masterpieces that are soul-satisfying, uplifting and inspiring are offered on this collection - sonatas, waltzes, etudes, preludes, minuets, nocturnes and concertos. There is something for every classical music lover's preferences. You'll have a relaxing and soothing musical experience with this two-CD-set.
Wholeheartedly recommended!
Wonderful Aug 29, 2008
Wonderful classical music. The CD is very relaxing and offers a wide variety of favorite classical music. I can't wait to listen to the other "Relaxing" CD's that are available.

 Not very relaxing Feb 15, 2008
This CD is ok and Obviously is not Grammy material. For the price it is ok but was looking for something "more relaxing." Sorry I cannot be more specific.

 Not that relaxing Dec 07, 2007
I was disappointed in this CD because I didn't find the music was as soothing as I would have expected from the title. Much of the music tended to be faster beats, loud, and somewhat "noisy". The CD is not bad, but it's just not as relaxing as other CD's I've listened to.

Beautiful piano music! Aug 14, 2007
This is simply an exquisite collection of beautiful piano pieces. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I can read while listening to this music-call it background music...maybe, but even when you're doing something else-the music is there...it does not intrude, but it doesn't get lost either. I am having a hard time explaining this. I wanted music to relax and enjoy. I got just that with this collection. I think it's a bargain and highly recommend it!
