A certain amount of hyperbole should be expected in the marketing of budget collections, but when EMI claims that its 2007 compilation Pure Classical contains "48 original hits by the original artists," it's pushing things too far. No one should be tricked into thinking any of the performers heard here were the first to record these short pieces ...

EMI's Best Romantic Classics 100 may fulfill some listeners' needs by providing the most familiar excerpts and short pieces of nineteenth and twentieth century "mood" music, but it is unsatisfying in several other aspects. First, anyone who wants complete works will be annoyed by the rather large number of extracted sections, which in most cases ...

As a compilation of soothing classical pieces, EMI's Best Relaxing Classics 100 should work as a satisfactory chill-out collection, at least theoretically, because it is full of slow, soft, and atmospheric music that most people will find very tranquil and pleasant, if played at a moderate-to-low volume. However, this six-disc set of recordings ...

As Dennis Brain was the finest horn player in the United Kingdom in the '50s, so the Dennis Brain Wind Ensemble was the finest wind chamber ensemble in the United Kingdom in the '50s. Brain, of course, is well known for his recordings of Strauss and Mozart's Horn Concertos, recordings which remain the deepest, the strongest, and the most soulful ...
