Mark, glad that you(and the baby)are enjoying the music. Yes, since the Strauss Waltzes and Polkas were recorded over 40 years ago there sometimes is a bit of tape hiss, but Willi can sure conduct that stuff and I have several more of his Strauss CDs.
That Holst Planets with Mehta is typically my first suggestion to someone who isn't familiar with classical music, since it's about as sure-fire a CD as I know of.
Peter, you may misunderstand the recording technique used in Bolero. The drummer just plays for a couple of seconds and leaves, then when they do the mix they recycle it a few hundred times.
-----------------------------------
Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

bigwill-if its that bluegrass band you are speaking of, its nickel creek, not nickel back.. nickel back is a heavy rock band.. they are not horrible, but certainly not blue grass!!

I bought several that were mentioned here, but the one that really stands out is Joss Stone. Wow what a great sexy voice. If she were in her 30s or even late 20s I would probably be her #1 stalker : ), but being almost 40 I guess its probably not a good idea.

That's right, bigjohn! Nickel Creek not effin' Nickel Back - they blow. BMG didn't have Nickel Creek available for sampling so it looks like I'm going to buy based on y'all's word alone. I'll send you the bill if they blow, too. JK

Hey Mark,
Amazon will let you listen to snippets. Click on any album, scroll down the page, and you'll find a track list where you can listen on Windows Media Player, or Real Player.
If you're already aware of this, NEVERMIND!

Be sure and get their 1st cd (self titled). I like the 2nd one, but the 1st one is far better.

P.S. If you dont LOVE it , you can send me the bill.
