I thought it was about time that I offered up some classical music for a change here. This 10 disc set features 100 of the greatest classical songs in Western Classical Music. With selections from numerous composers, it is an easy way to familiarize oneself with some of the most popular classical works and excerpts. A pleasant listen for the initiated too. These were originally released as two compilations consisting of 5 volumes each, with the first covering the period of time between 1685-1841, and the second volume covering 1842-1928. Since my time is limited, I will post each of the 10 volumes individually.

Many thanks for this collection! My girlfriend says she "likes classical music" but doesn't actually know who's-who, etc. so this will be a great help.
SNAP! There's loads of stuff I like but I have no idea who composed it or what it's called. This collection probsbly contains all I like and more besides.
Cheers
very beautiful music and thank you for the early Christmas gift .... happy holidays .... I love this
I was worried that this classical collection wouldn't be well recieved. I suppose I was wrong...
I'm happy that you all are enjoying this collection. I should have the remaining volumes up before the end of the night.
Thank you so much!!
Classical is the only genre I don't feel I know much about - and this is a GREAT collection for "beginners".
Bravo! Thanks for a superb collection. Unfortunately, it appears that Volume 7 is incomplete. Only seven of the 10 music files unpacked (same result for two download attempts).
CylonDetector2000:
I'll check on Volume 7. I probably either made a mistake when placing the files in the .rar archive, or I'm missing a few files and didn't notice. It doesn't sound as if it's a problem on your end though. I might not be home for a couple of days, so if you see this before I get a chance to respond, please acknowledge my comment so that I know you'll be coming back. Thanks for pointing out the problem though.
Thanks for responding to my comment, Zer0_II. I will be coming back.
Is Vol. 7 still 3 tracks short?
The missing pieces on Vol. 7 are FOUR: tracks 2, 8, 9, 10.
Could you please repost it? Thank you very much for your unvaluable work.
A big "THANK YOU" for this huge and amazing work.
This collection will be greatly appreciated.
