 Arkiv CD order review April 3, 2013 By alexander h. (cranford, NJ) See All My Reviews ""Essential Bach" consisted of 2 CDs. The first CD did not play in my CD player, but the second one was OK. A second "Essential Bach" was sent to me as a replacement order. Neither of the two CDs played in my CD player. Other CDs I have worked well in the CD player." Report Abuse
