Tchaikovsky - 100 Supreme Classical Masterpieces: Rise of the Masters: Explore similar items for $1.99 + free shipping
100 tracks of Tchaikovsky for just 2¢ per track. And similar collections of many other composers, including Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Handel, etc. etc.
For the most part, these are "intact" works... i.e. if a symphony is part of the collection, every movement is recorded, in sequence. (Some of Amazon's earlier collections had random movements from various works, but not completely intact works.)
Some of these collections were previously offered for $1.29, but if you didn't get them then, get them now for $1.99... they're still a great deal! (And, based on past history with other Amazon MP3 collections, they're likely to go up significantly in the future.)
@dupedyetagain: Thanks for that Big Box tip!
Thanks for posting.
Whether it is a one time deal or not, this is great buy. In for a few.
Amazon cloud player is good, but Google Play Music is my favorite for Android.
@sharanmahapatra: As far as I know, you can download your music to mp3s on your computer or mobile device without DRM. The cloud player on your phone has a setting to automatically download new songs. I have yet to try and pull MP3s out into a separate collection, but as far as I understand, this is very easy to do and does not require any special software.
These "Rise of the Masters" sets are a great value -- mostly full works with very good sound quality by lesser-known (but nonetheless competent) performers. At $2 a pop, you can have a massive classical collection for next to nothing. [Also, do not expect this price to go up; it has been priced at $2 for a good year or so, save a month or two it briefly rose to $3].
Mozart fans should search Amazon for the "Big Mozart Box," a set of nearly 200 tracks (again, mostly full works and wonderful recordings) for $0.99, a price which will certainly go to $10 within a few weeks.
If you are looking for other composers the Rise of the Masters sets don't cover, try the "99 greatest" collections (most are around $5). The Saint-Saenz album, in particular, is awesome (I'm listening to it now!).
Finally, Amazon's Cloud Player is amazing! Using my work's wi-fi, I stream these classical albums from my iPhone speakers all day long while I work. Now, I can't imagine working without this stuff.
@sharanmahapatra: I'm streaming it on the Amazon cloud player (via Android) right now. No problems for me.
The classical music pieces are a good buy, but did anyone try to play with the Amazon cloud player? Does it work - it seems to be paused all the time.
I have a couple of these. The quality of the recordings are very, very good. Well worth the price if you're looking to expand your collection.

Get this long-dead artist's works before he "decomposes."
But seriously, The 5th Symphony in E minor is worth the price alone.
I hate it when they try to make the Fine Arts look like a Hollywood blockbuster.
"Rise of the Masters" ? ? ? Is this Tchaikovsky or Michael Bay?
