 Excellent selection! January 7, 2009
This CD compilation lives up to its titled billing: it IS the most relaxing classical music in the universe! A caveat, however: consider the source of this opinion. My classical music background derives from a single music appreciation class at LSU-Baton Rouge in 1972--in which I made a B. (A bunch of LSU band kids were in there, though, and they drove up the grading curve.) However, I've attended a few symphonies in my time, and I do think this is a superb product for the generally uninformed but appreciative listener such as myself.

Who needs Zoloft when you've got Leos Janacek? (...though I suspect, of all the composers snipped and included in this prescription CD, Janacek would be the most astonished to find his music classified as relaxing...)
So I ran into this guy, see, while I was cross-country skiing in Minnesota, by the way, and he came out and asked me what I did for a living and I told him I was a musician, and he says 'what kind' and I says 'mostly Baroque but a little modern' and he looks puzzled and says 'is that something like classical' and so then we get into this long discussion of why 'classical music has never been popular' as we go wheezing over the frozen turf, me singing silently "Good King Sauerkraut looked out / on his feets uneven / when the snoo lay around about..."
"Snoo? What's snoo?"
"I don't know. What's new with you?"
As you may have guessed by now, the idea of using music as an analgesic gives me the willies. Through most of history, except for a very small number of pampered rich folk, the chance to hear music at all was a rare and exciting treat. The invention of the phonograph - my teenage son smirks and snorts when I use the word phonograph - has cheapened music ... for better and for worse. These days, for a few dollars, you can hear most of the greatest music of all eras and all cultures in the comfort of your home. That's the better. But you can also treat it as wall-paper or else as a 'relaxing' foot bath.
The sound you hear is not distortion on the CD; it's me, tearing my hair.
A feast for the ears July 2, 2008
Title...The Most Relaxing Music in the Universe (not Feminine Mystique(?). Music is beautiful, very relaxing yet energizing.
A credible Baroque montage December 11, 2007
A lovely mostly Baroque montage with recognizable favorites including classical pieces from Mozart and Beethoven.

This CD is wonderful! After a long stressful day at work, my husband and I like to put this CD on and cook supper together and relax. Great relaxing music and we just love it.
