The budget price doesn't reflect the quality of this 2 disc collection of classical music highlights, for the soloists, orchestras, conductors and the recordings themselves ensure it is a good quality selection of mostly familiar music from the classical music repertoire.
The choices lean heavily towards the opera style, so for that reason alone will not be the only album necessary to cover everyone's taste - even the complete classical beginner will find many of their familiar favourites are absent.
The tracks are mostly single movements from the whole score, which may not please the more enthusiastic classical fan, but it's unavoidable given the short time permitted by only 2 CDs. In any case, this album really ... Read More:

Whod ave fought dat there would be enuf badass classical songs to be worf fillin two WHOLE CDs? Well, there aint. Most of da songs is well borin and it dont even got Star Wars on it. Dat is my favourite classical song, except for the valedictory Adagio (langsam, feierlich) from Anton Bruckner's unfinished ninth symphony in D minor, performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Willhelm Furtwängler- which aint there neither. I aint never even eard arf of these songs on any decent Nokia ringtones or nuffin and most of em dont got no proper beats, innit! They should ave got my man MC Hammer to do a well-bad remix.

"The Only. . . " album may sound like a superficial pastiche to reviewer 1, but it isn't. I'm a classical music activist and an advocate for imaginative ways to reverse classical's decline. From this standpoint this product demonstrates first-rate creative showmanship and sophistication on the part of its producers. As the second reviewer indicates, the album does more than just stimulate impulse purchase. The outrageously inspired title was obviously designed to attract newcomers to classical. Having lured the uninitiated, a wrong start on the first track could be the last heard. The inspired choice of Orff, with his primal rhythms and simple harmonic structure, probably breaks with stereotypes people may have about classical. The listener then gets ... Read More:
