I got a pack of 10 Classical Music CDs at Sam's Club about a month ago, for about 20 bucks, and it's fantastic. I've discovered that there are five guys who put out stuff that you like right off the bat: Mozart, Vivaldi, Handel, Bach and Beethoven. Make it six; Tchaikovsky belongs there too.
Unfortunately the version of Pachelbel's Canon on the set is played too fast. It certainly shows off the skill of the musicians, and no doubt helps them stay awake after their ten-thousandth performance of it, but it loses its beauty.
The good news for bored musicians is that we have machines to do that now.
