 Great Compilation, but poor engineering February 4, 2009
LCDRChemEng (JAX)

A very good compilation of all-time favorites. The selections on this set are truly awe inspiring, especially "Mars, the Bringer of War." The artistic performance is also flawless and masterful.
The mastering itself, however, leaves much to be desired. The sound level is very low and as a result the amp has to be cranked up real high, which inreases the noise signature. On pieces like "Montagues and Capulets" it is really hard to hear the quiet passages, and on a truly thunderous system like my Sunfire you have to be wary so as to not shake the shingles off the neighbor's roof when the march comes on. This flaw degrades the whole experience since you can't just sit back and enjoy the music without fiddling with the remote control all the time.
 Classical Thunder ROCKS September 7, 2008

This CD contains the classical music that baby boomers recognize from movies and TV when we were young. It is a fun listen when you don't want to hear the chatter on the radio or to sing along. When you hear the William Tell Overture you can see Hopalong Cassidy riding his horse, or savor memories from 2001, the Space Oddyse. I don't listen to it everyday- but it's fun for a break.

Every selection on this CD is wonderful. I can't get enough of it. My 22 year old son loves it, too, so I bought another copy just for him.
Simply masterful... April 10, 2008

I bought this album years ago, and it continues to blow me away. Be aware that this album truly consists of classical thunder, without any charming little Baroque pieces. I love "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," but you won't find that sort of thing on this collection. Instead, this is song after song that is loud and boisterous. The selection is marvelous, including some of my personal favorites like Rossini's "William Tell Overture," Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man," Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture," Orff's "Carmina burana" and Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5." But many lesser known masterpieces are here, as well, like Rimsky-Korsakov's "Procession of the Nobles" and Tchaikovsky's "Marche slave." Regardless of the familiarity of this music, it's all good stuff. The performances are stellar, and I'd recommend this album to anyone to wants to hear some of most rambunctious music ever composed!!
Good job August 26, 2005

I remember when I was little, I had this cd, but i lost it. I bought a similiar type of one through TIme Life and decided to try the Classical Thunder one. I have like it so far.
