《轻松悠闲古典集》The modern world seems to constantly be getting more and more hectic, with more and more things going on around us all at once. This 2-CD set from EMI Classics is meant to remind people that there is more to life than the daily hustle and bustle, that sometimes it's goo d to just sit back and just not do anything for a little while--to relax a little.
These 36 tracks represent the most soothing, meditative, transcendently beautiful music ever produced, encouraging listeners to pause from the distractions of the world and turn inward, shutting off the computer, TV, cell phone, and so on. Timeless treasures such as Pachelbel's Canon in D, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21, Dvorˇák's New World Symphony Largo, and more uplift and restore, leaving the listener refreshed and ready to face the world with renewed energy!
