Query: The Beauty of Beethoven

I love this CD. The music is quite beautiful, sensitive, and sometimes a little melancholy, but of course that is to be expected with Beethoven. I now own several of the CDs in this series, and I love them all. Philips certainly had a good idea here. What a wonderful way to enjoy classical music. I realise purists will argue that this is not the way these pieces were meant to be heard, but who wants to listen to a long, often times complicated and thunderous symphony whilst working or reading? There is a time for that sort of listening. I, for one, do not feel guilty listening to these selections snipped from longer works.
