1062.0. "Einhunert Meisterwerke" by STAR::JACOBI (Paul Jacobi - VAX/VMS Development) Mon Jan 18 1988 12:44

    
                               100 MASTERPIECES
    
    	I bought volume 1 of 5 this week at Lechmere on sale at an
    incredible $7.98!  It was too good to pass up!  Volume 1 contains the
    first 20 of 100 masterpieces.  The length is also an incredible 73
    minutes, 16 seconds!  The other four volumes are of similar length and
    price.  The complete set of 5 is also available at a discount ~ $39.99.

    	Most of the works are performed by the "Budapest Philharmonic". 
    Who?  Hey, wadda expect for $7.98!  The performances are surprisingly
    good and all are recorded DDD.

    	I plan to use this collection to develop an association between the
    composer, the music, and the name of the piece.  Then, I may purchase
    additional, higher quality, complete recordings of the pieces that
    interest me.   This collection is great for people, like me, who need
    to develop their tastes for classical music.

	Would anybody else like to rate this collection?

    	I bought volume 3 this week also for the same reasons .0 mentioned.
    I wanted to sample a variety, and then decide which works I wanted
    in their entirety.  I have no complaints about this disc - pretty
    good sound and a great price!!
