Chip Davis, creator and founder of Mannheim Steamroller, established a whole new genre of music when he burst onto the music scene in 1975 with his first Fresh Aire album. A unique combination of acoustical, classical and contemporary rock 'n roll, the sound of Mannheim Steamroller could not be neatly categorized in the music industry. Instead the term New Age was coined, with Mannheim Steamroller releasing a total of eight albums in the legendary Fresh Aire Series. All eight albums have been certified gold with Fresh Aire 7 earning Davis a Grammy Award. As with the introduction of Fresh Aire, Davis also revolutionized the sounds of Christmas when Mannheim Steamroller Christmas was released in l985. His growing legions of devoted Fresh Aire fans quickly propelled Davis to the top of the holiday charts and today Mannheim Steamroller is the #1 Christmas music artist in history. The Fresh Aire Music of Mannheim Steamroller takes listeners back to where it all began. With 25 tracks personally selected by Chip, the 2-CD set is a must purchase for worldwide fans and provides marketing opportunities to reach an entirely new audience of Mannheim Steamroller followers.

Didn't know what to expect...loved it!
I was looking for something to listen to before going to sleep, with the candle lit (in the bathroom, of course) and the samples were interesting. I put it in my car's CD player for yesterday's commute to work and it was great, especially since I was delayed 45 minutes by an accident. Hard to describe the genre...a little new-agey, little "earth sounds" but all-in-all quite pleasant and not something that would bore you to sleep. Would I buy others in the series...hard to say, but I really do like this one.

Having the whole Fresh Air collection (8 albums) it's nice to see a condensed "Greatest Hits"
Having the whole Fresh Air collection (8 albums) it's nice to see a condensed "Greatest Hits", if you will, come to light. The music is great and the improvement in the sound is awesome. When I first saw the album, I thought it was a tribute album by various other people, not actual Mannheim Steamroller. Needless to say, I was thrilled. Their music has always been special and unique and a once-in-a-lifetime experince to listen to. Looking forward to The Music of Fresh Air II.

Great as usual
I have been a MS fan since the 70's when a coworker returned from Chicago with their Fresh Aire III album. I don't even know how many albums and cds I now own but they hardly ever disappoint. The numerous times I have seen them in concert have been fantastic. The Christmas show never gets old. For a new fan, and old ones, this cd delivers the best off many cds and gives you a compilation of your favorites. I challenge anyone not to find their "favorite" on this cd. Definitely worth more than the money I paid for it.

I have all of the original Fresh Air albums and this compilation gives one a collection of parts of all of them that one can enjoy when one has only a relatively short time to listen to a sampling of all those Fresh Air albums when I can't sit down to listen to all of them in one sitting.

Wonderful Music
What can I say but it's the greatest. I am a very devout fan of Mannheim Steamroller. Have seen them live several times. Living close to Omaha, NE I always go to the Christmas concerts. Wouldn't be Christmas without them. I have every CD and DVD they've made. This also belongs in my collection. You will love this. Wish I could give 10 stars!

Great CD.
I love any music by Mannheim Steamroller and this CD is no exception. Their music is just great listening! Was able to see them at Universal in Florida and the CD is just like hearing them live.

Fresh Aire Music of Mannheim Steamroller
This compilation of tracks from several of Mannheim Steamroller's Fresh Aire albums is excellent, and much better value than buying all of their individual albums.
