Title: Good price...but short on interpretation
Review: This collection is a good bargain for people who want to be introduced to the romantic classical music. The 10 CD really contain a great deal of music. However, the playing falls short. The playing was dry and boring, with little hint of emotion involved in the performance. To be honest, even most of the bargain CDs I find in K-mart have much better playing than this. I never fast forwarded or skipped as many tracks on a classical CD as I did on this one. If you just want to hear a large selection of pieces regardless of the playing, then get this. But if interpretation and playing matters for you, there are better bets else where. The "Millenium Top 40" is also a collection, but the pieces there are actually beautifully played. Naxos' Romantic Pieces for Piano Collection are also a good deal.
