As Amazon has chosen to list the songs composers rather than performers, it's a little difficult to sort out.This set may get people interested in the music of Chess who otherwise wouldn't have been, and that's a good thing, but if anyone is looking for a good Chess comp there are several out there-start with one of the 50th Anniversary sets.
