Written on November 3, 2005 Summary: bEtHoVeN mAnIaC [...] Honestly, it isn't THAT THAT great, but its good enough for its price. I'd say that your $ pays off, for a while. I've noticed how after a long time, it gets aggrivating at times. No harm meant, "Beethoven lover". I just mean don't plunge into this cd with all the hopes in the world. Besides, it's just my opinion, so you may like it more than me. All i can say is; a) listen to some samples before you buy, b)know this is not REALLY the great Beethoven himself, and c) enjoy YOUR music, whatever it may be.  Written on May 19, 2005 Summary: Great Price...Not so good itself This a great priced cd, but the content is why it is so cheap. It's a true-amateur album. Beethoven Lover is over her/his head. This is the real world, not a fantasy-everyone-likes-every-type-of-music world. Deal with it and agree with me. It isn't so great.  Written on February 20, 2005 Summary: Beethoven Lover's Newest Report Wow! This is really good. I can't believe it's not beethoven himself playing! I really recommend it to anyone who's a Beethoven lover like me! Please, I really need to know if you agree with me...  Written on February 17, 2005 Summary: Beethoven Lover's Review This is a very nice cd. Beethoven is one of the worlds finest composers and this cd shows that. Written on October 14, 2004 Summary: Good Price, Middling Content The most attractive thing about this Beethoven compilation CD is the price. For around five dollars, you get almost 77 minutes of music, which makes this CD useful as a very basic introduction to Beethoven, although I think some of the track selections are a bit obscure, and certainly don't rank with his greatest compositions. The most universally recognized recordings on the CD are "Symphony Number 5 in C Minor", and "Symphony No. 9 in D Minor 'Choral' (IV. Finale: Allegro assai)." Coincidentally these are also probably the most technically superior recordings on the disc. The remaining tracks vary from relatively common to totally obscure. The quality of the individual tracks seems to vary quite a bit. There is relatively little background noise, yet some of the performances seem a bit muffled. It isn't unpleasant to listen to the CD, but by no means are these the best recordings available of these works. Perhaps most annoying is the slavish devotion to the title: the producers were obviously bent on putting 25 Beethoven tracks on this CD for marketing purposes. The problem with that concept is that these pieces average about 3:08 per track, which won't cut it for a reasonable presentation of Beethoven. Not only are the individual tracks taken totally out of context, with no prevailing theme guiding their selection, but the tracks themselves were condensed and edited to fit in the 3 minute slot allotted to them on the CD. The result is not particularly representative of the works themselves, and is on occasion rather jarring to listen to. There are better Beethoven compilations than this available, and I advise listeners to go for quality, not quantity: buy several CDs with unified themes and unedited pieces rather than this if that is an affordable option. This CD is not as good an introduction to Beethoven as I had hoped, and in fact, falls far short of the sister volume "25 Mozart Favorites", which is more sensible and has better recordings. |
