Beethoven: Folk Song Arrangements
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Many listeners and even singers will be surprised to learn that Beethoven wrote numerous arrangements of English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh folksongs. Although not all of these were successful--he did them to satisfy a commission--many are excellent and worthy of wider performance. Unfortunately, the disc begins with the weakest selection, but if you hang in there, you'll be treated to some wonderful and often ingenious rarities. --David Vernier

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08
The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!
I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.
The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.
