4 out of 5 stars An invitation to dinner   May 12, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful


Such is Classic FM's marketing team's enthusiasm for releasing these 'Music For' compilation albums we should soon have a CD in our collection to cover every eventuality in our lives!

This one is for dinner parties - although being a single CD it may need to be played several times depending on how quickly your guests eat - and the intention is to create a calm, relaxed atmosphere with perhaps an air of sophistication to those social events.

There should be something on this album to please everyone round the dinner table. Satie's 'Trois Gymnopedies' is soothing and familiar, Haydn's 'Cello Concerto no. 2' is more lively and Handel's 'Water Music' adds a bit of ceremony to the event.

The recordings, as ever with Classic FM, are good ones with well known orchestras, instrumentalists and singers, including the familiar Lesley Garrett and the georgous Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu singing a nice bit of opera by Puccini.

How very civilised and sophisticated!




5 out of 5 stars HOWZABOUT THAT THEN   September 13, 2007
 1 out of 11 found this review helpful

Well, I certainly might be getting this album, and to buy both for 10.44, what a bargain (that is Music for Dinner Parties and Music for Driving the latter for my mum, the former one for me, even if I don't host dinner parties)...in the words of Sir Jimmy Savile 'Howzabout that then'!!
