Review:

I have always loved classical music, but Beethoven’s style of music was never really as much to my liking as others. I know his music is very popular though, and is heard in many different things. I love the idea of teaching children about this composer and his music though, and appreciate the fact that this cd is available. I have been listening to it, with the baby type of sound (the tinkles and brighter sounding music rather than deeper sounds of orchestras) that really has appealed to my newborn son (who is now 2 months old and already showing that he really loves classical music). My 6 year old step daughter is proving to be a little more reluctant when it comes to playing this cd but is beginning to show that she is enjoying it the more we listen (it is a different sound than what she is used to hearing). I have enjoyed putting this album on and letting it play while I clean house, feed the baby, etc. letting the whole house enjoy the sounds of Beethoven and classical music. You should consider getting this album for your family. What better way to introduce the music of Beethoven to your family than through listening to it intentionally instead of distorted through commercials and othe rmedia ploys?
