Do you like this CD? What is your favorite piece? I like this CD because in all the pieces I can hear the instruments “talking” to one another and they play a wide variety of different types of songs (some are faster and more upbeat while others are peaceful and beautiful.) My favorite piece on this CD is the First Track called Allegro mon troppo by Antonin Dvorak. I like this piece because it has a few different styles (some parts are slower while others are faster and upbeat). In this piece I hear the instruments “talking” to each other more than in some other pieces.
