5 out of 5 stars If stranded on an island and had one disc..........2006-01-23

I'd be tempted to make this the one, and I own over 2,000. I agree with what has been said above, but have a few thoughts of my own. I live near a major city with a known orchestra. Why are classical audienced declining? Maybe they're overplaying hackneyed works, and not playing some neglected masterpieces. In this double album there are some well known works, but some exquisite finds, like Picker's Old and Lost Rivers, Honegger's Pastorale, Arvo Part's Summa (!!!). Most highly recommended, with a good bottle of red wine.

5 out of 5 stars Truly inspired collection.......2004-12-07

I came upon this compilation while researching a somewhat obscure piece called "Summer Pastorale", which is contained in the collection. One look at the play list and I was sold - here were most of my favorite tone poems, adagios, and assorted short works, all on one CD (OK, two CD's...)

Another gem here that I had never heard before is Pick's "Old and Lost Rivers". Ravel's final movement from Mother Goose is one of his best orchestrations and at the top of my 'A' list.

About the only pieces I missed here were Debussy's Engulfed Cathedral and Respighi's fourth church window, St. Gregory the Great. Perhaps they would be a bit too dramatic for this collection, though.

The only shortcoming of this collection is the lack of liner notes, but this is a minor issue. The music is superb.


5 out of 5 stars Encore! Encore!.......2004-06-17

Like a few other reviewers here, I purchased this disc for Tobias Picker's "Old and Lost Rivers." But from the Gregorian chants that open this two-CD set to the closing strains of Ravel's "Mother Goose: The Fairy Garden," I was absolutely captivated by the beauty and cohesiveness of this compilation. Producer Robert Laporta has created a disc that passes muster with neophytes and long time classical music lovers alike. I humbly suggest -- make that BEG -- that Virgin Classics turn "Classical Dreams" into a series. I would love to hear a second volume featuring such favorites as the BBC Symphony Orchestra's interpretation of Delius' "On Hearing the 1st Cuckoo In Spring," the Royal Philharmonic's version of Vaughan Williams' "Fantastia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" and the London Symphony's recording of Vaughan Williams' "Symphony No. 3 Pastoral" (Andre Previn conducting both Vaughan Williams' selections). By far, this is the finest classical collection I have yet heard. Encore!

Like a few other reviewers here, I purchased this disc for Tobias Picker's miraculous (and criminally underrated) "Old and Lost Rivers." But from the Gregorian chants that open this two-CD set to the closing strains of Ravel's "Mother Goose: The Fairy Garden," I was absolutely captivated by the beauty and cohesiveness of this compilation. Producer Robert Laporta has created a disc both neophytes and long time classical music lovers can approve of. I humbly suggest that Virgin Classics turn Classical Dreams into a series. I would love to hear a second volume featuring such favorites as the BBC Symphony Orchestra's interpretation of Delius' "On Hearing the 1st Cuckoo In Spring," the Royal Philharmonic's version of Vaughan Williams' "Fantastia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" and the London Symphony's recording of Vaughan Williams' "Symphony No. 3 Pastoral" (Andre Previn conducting both Vaughan Williams' selections). By far, this is the finest classical compilation I have yet heard. Encore!

5 out of 5 stars Surprised and ... inspired.......2002-05-10

What a pleasant surprise this double CD turned out to be. I bought it used just for Picker's gorgeous and poetic "Old and Lost Rivers" but fell in love with the whole thing. I'm not usully one for "Best Of ---" or themed classical collections, but this one's in a class by itself. The selections are unusual and achingly lovely in themselves and as a whole. This is my new favorite disk. It's a relaxation or concentration tool... hell, it's a companion - it goes wherever my laptop and headphones go. You get over two hours of gorgeous and lyrical - never mushy, sentimental or tired - classical music, the perfect backdrop for everything from dinner dates to writing code. This CD has added sustained moments of beauty and poise to a busy life - which is more than I could have asked for!

5 out of 5 stars In The Garden Of Venus 1987.......2004-02-23

It's one of their best albums!

A "must-have" for all!

I like all the songs, my favourites are:
01 In Hundred Years [a masterpiece!]
02 Don't Let It Get You Down
03 Who Will Save The World? [containing rock elements]
07 Slow Motion
08 Locomotion Tango [so lucky that this song isn't in tango style]

P.S. Many fans consider this album to be their best in 1980s.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Cover The Best Ballad The Best Title!.......2002-04-19

"In 100yrs love is illegal" well they could be right! 100yrs is a great single but not no.2 material as it reached no1 only in one country. Locomotion Tango is a single that hasn't been spoken about at all !!! it is like it never existed! To me it is one of their greatest singles but it isn't included in any of the greatest hits albums and neither is 100yrs. This is the shortest album of Modern Talking with 32 minutes plus but I can't blame dieter as he was getting ready for the break up of Modern talking and welcoming Blue System as he released `Walking On A Rainbow' of blue system and `In The Garden Of Venus' of Modern Talking in 1987 (although `Walking On A Rainbow' came out before the 6th album of MT). This album is full of great songs and none are bad or boring, and it gives me great pleasure to give this album full 5 stars.

4 out of 5 stars THE SIXTH ALBUM... AND COUNTING.......2001-03-09

When Dieter was adding the final touches to this album, he was also working on his first solo project as BLUE SYSTEM (great first album by the way - it is called "Walking On A Rainbow"). Ithink that by doing this he affected Modern Talking's album by paying more attention to Blue System's one. The songs on "In The Garden Of Venus" are great though. I recommend 'A Telegram To Your Heart', 'Don't Loose My Number' and 'Who Will Save The World'. - Momad C.

5 out of 5 stars Good release, even if it was the last of the 80's........2000-12-08

You may not believe that 'In The Garden Of Venus' was realeased posthamusly in 1987, three months after Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders had split. The songs are simply great. The tracks -'In 100 Years', 'Locomotion Tango' and 'A Telegram To Your Heart' are upbeats. The only track I did not like was 'It's Christmas'. But that does'nt matter really.

5 out of 5 stars i loved their music since i first heard it almost 10 years a.......1999-09-30

please, i am trying desperately to find one of their songs that goes "lucy worked a different job every day, though she put her mind to it, her heart was never in it. she stayed around just long enough to get paid...." i haven't heard this in over 5 years, and i am desperate to find it. if anyone knows, please do email me. thank you
