More of the Same (2006-04-11)

The music as always is excellent. The compilation is standard. There must be 100 'Best Classical Music' genre CDs out there with exactly the same 'compilations'. I wish someone would be a little more imaginative. This is a good CD if you want something to listen to in the car.
