Music reviews of Beethoven Lives Upstairs
Music Review: Nice but not great
Rating: 3 Stars
Not quite sure why other people love this so much. Our son who's listened to this on and off for a few months now (21 mo. currently) isn't so enthralled by this as the other reviewer's children seem to be. He pretty much ignores this and continues to do whatever he was doing in the car.
For myself, initially I didn't think much of this at all and preferred just a regular classical CD but it does grow on you after a while - maybe it'll grow on our son too as he gets older.
They did pick nice pieces though, the story is nice enough and the performance of the actors were good. Be forewarned though, it does mention death of Beethoven.
Description of Beethoven Lives Upstairs
The award-winning Classical Kids series introduces children -- and adults -- to the joys of classical music. A dramatic story, a little bit of history and the world's best-loved classical music set the scene for these fun-filled musical adventures.The arrival of an eccentric boarder turns a young boy's life upside down. Ludwig van Beethoven has moved in upstairs! At first Christoph resents their new tenant but slowly he comes to understand the genius of the man, the torment of his deafness and the beauty of his music. In the end he is won over by the music and true incidents from the great composer's life. The music, all originally produced, includes excerpts of more than 35 of Beethoven's best-loved works: Symphonies Nos. 5 to 9, the Moonlight and Pathetique Sonatas, Violin "Spring Sonata," Flute Serenade, G+ Sonatina, Minuet in G+, Fur Elise.
