Read About This Recording

This is the Collection of Collections!

No Beethoven disc is complete without the most famous movement in all music: the Fifth Symphony. But there's so much more, including a beautiful performance of the "Für Elise" and the rousing "Turkish March."

All the performances are by the greatest artists and the recorded sound is beautifully mastered.

This collection is the perfect gift for the newcomer to classical music, but even for the experienced listener it's nice to have these great pieces collected together.

—Jacob Anthony
