This album contains gems, some of which are perhaps not widely known, but which are deserving nevertheless. In spite of being a compilation, I will go on to add that unlike some compilations, such as "The Immortal Beloved", which not only select a movement from an entire work but then goes on to edit the movement itself, this compilation presents only the full, uncut, unedited version of each piece.
