 Delightful classical parodies December 7, 2008
The "Beethoven's Wig" series of CDs present very cleverly written parodies of familiar classical works. Following the parodies (for which the words are printed), the same works are presented in instrumental form. Several people have discovered that putting words to classical works ("Songs without words, with words") is an excellent way to interest children (and some adults) in classical music and to help them remember the melodies and their composers. Few of the previous efforts have been as clever as Perlmutter's "Beethoven's Wig" series. It's a real delight.
 Another great, funny CD. October 18, 2008

Another great, funny CD. I have all 4 of this series and this is another great one. A must for all families looking to teach their children about classical music in a fun way. Also, a great rendition of Pomp and Circumstances that our recent college graduate son thoroughly related to and enjoyed!
Love it October 16, 2008

This is a great avenue for introducing classical music to ALL ages. A fun "listen to" adventure.
Excellent Addition October 13, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This 4th CD is a perfect addition to the set, especially tracks 4 (Give me a midnight snack, to the tune of Bizet's "Habanero") and 12 (Beep beep beep--which gives a whole new perspective of "Moonlight Sonata"). For classical music lovers, it's really great and for those new to classical musical or who've never before thought of it as "music", the lyrics are hilarious and catchy, and help the listener think perhaps those "ancient composers" actually knew what they were doing.
More fun and silliness for Beethoven's Wig fans September 3, 2008

There are some really fun tracks on this CD, plus there are American composers (Sousa and Joplin) for the first time.
