 Rating:  - Classical Thunder ROCKSThis 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. Rating:  - classical thunderEvery 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. Rating: - Simply masterful...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," ...

I have like it so far. Rating: - Masterful!This two CD set is magnificent. I got the set in the early 1990's when it was advertised on television, along with other releases in Time Life's set. I was struck by the interpretations of the conductors. Whenever I hear these pieces now, I judge them against this recording. Amazing selection as well. There are staples of orchestra repetoire, like Beethoven symphonies, but also gems that are not heard very often, like the Rimsky-Korsakov "Procession of the Nobles." A very impressive recording.
