Classic FM Territory

Not much to say about this one which was another very early purchase when I was still feeling my way with classical music. On the Philips label, the title is The Classic Collection and it is a two cd set "160 min+ featuring music from 30 composers". Very much Classic FM territory I would guess, the thirty composers comprise most of the expected "greats", a couple of one hit wonders like Albinoni and Boccherini and just the odd off the wall candidate like Satie ( but then again, that selection is Gymnopodie No 1 ! ) A good standard of performance from the Philips roster but really only the sort of thing you might put on as background while working on something else, or at that mythical dinner party.
