I actually have this already - paid a tenner for it on iTunes, which I thought was pretty good. If you don't know your classical music then download this - Lots of familiar tunes you have heard before in adverts or movie/TV sound tracks!

I just purchased it, and for some reason I only paid 2.85, because there was a 15p promotion discount?

weird, went through at £3 for me!

interesting mix - a snapshot and gives a good pop classical intro to a newbie.
unfortunately it doesnt say who composed ... eg Bach etc. which is quite crucial info ;)

H & R added

I downloaded this the other day and I thought the same as you kippy (i.e not showing the composers) but once the amazon downloader plugin has uploaded the music into iTunes the composer info is there - you just have to make sure you have the 'Composer' field selected in iTunes. Which I was very happy about!! ) Bargain for £3!!

done it.
