Well, I don't remember saying that, and I sure don't believe it, as far as books/audiobooks are concerned, at least. Sometimes books/audiobooks are just too long for me, given my level of interest in the subjects.
Highlights of musicians? You know, I never had given it much thought until this Handel album was offered. If they are giving the truly best--the highlights--then I don't mind that, either. But, if it's a composer or composition that I really love, I want an album with all of the music included.
BTW--I listened to the Handel album using my free Spotify account. Some pieces I liked, some I didn't. The ones that I didn't like were what I guess you'd call opera--men and women singing. The nod went to Tchaikovsky on this particular giveaway.
I think that I'll end up buying Handel by the piece.
And your decision?
