If you have even a passing fancy for Baroque music this is a must have. The performances are stellar, the engineering and mix jobs are audiphile quaility. This record brings you through all kinds of emotions, raises tears and goosebumps, foot tapping and an inner sense of peace. It is quite excellent.

I would imagine if you scoured the internet you would find this LP. I know the CDs are readily available.

I have several of this series of recordings in my collection, this is a new addition and I am very grateful to George for enabling me to add this to it.

This is the best performances thus far I've heard of Pachelbel's Cannon and it absolutely the greatest performance of Albinoni's Adagio.
