The company Museum Music put together one of two compilations dedicated to our favorite oddball Salvador Dali.  The one I am reviewing for this entry bears the title Musica Surreal.  Now, I can probably guess that if you poll people on what kind of music they would associate with the famed Surrealist, I am pretty sure that modern orchestral pieces would rarely come up.  On that note, let us see if the music choices matches the work of Dali.
