Various Artists (Sony BMG)Not another classical compilation, you may think. But this 3-CD album is perfect for any urbanite wanting to sit back with beautiful, relaxing music.Each disc contains carefully chosen pieces by outstanding musicians including Lorin Maazel and the L.A. Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra among others.
The first CD features standards like Pachelbel's ``Canon in D major'' and the adagio movements of Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto and Rodrigo's ``Concierto de Aranjuez.''Disc 2 is all about dreamy relaxation with Massenet's ``Meditation'' (Thais) while disc 3 is light and jovial, with Elgar's ``Chanson de matin.''
