Beethoven's Last Night by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Pros: Music and story
Cons: too short

Tommy.....The Who's classic rock opera, meets Andrew Lloyd Weber in this very interesting combination of musical styles that is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. With this album, "Beethoven's Last Night," the worlds of rock and roll, Broadway and...

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything

Roll over, Beethoven, and go back to your eternal sleep.

Poor fellow. If the world’s greatest composer weren’t already dead these 175 years, listening to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s interpretation of his final hours surely would have...

Pros: It depends on perspective.
Cons: It also depends on perspective.

If you buy "Beethoven's Last Night," the newest release from Trans-Siberian Orchestra, searching for electrified Beethoven masterpieces, you will probably be disappointed. If you are a fan of Savatage, looking for a pseudo-rock opera with...

Pros: An album to listen to the whole year!
Cons: There is the only non Christmas album

I’m amazed that there isn’t a review for this album. If you like myself are an avid fan of Trans Siberian Orchestra’s music, then you feel the loss when the Christmas season is over and you have to put their CD’s back into hiding. As you feel silly ...

Pros: Interesting plot, good music.
Cons: No good instramentals.

Now, I'll state how I am horridly unpartial here. I am a HUGE fan of TSO's work... and "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" and "The Christmas Attic" spin on my CD player every month of the year. When I first heard about...

Pros: Guaranteed to blow you away!
Cons: NONE

It is safe to assume that Beethoven did not have TSO's vision in mind when he created his masterpieces years ago, but I venture to say he would accept it with open arms. When I first heard this CD was being released, I ordered it immediately. And like...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Very different from Trans-Siberian Orchestras Christmas albums, but still very enjoyable. I have the two Christmas albums and loved them, so when I saw this one I decided I needed it too. The first time I listened to this CD I was not expecting what I ...

Pros: This CD is simply freaky! Awesome job by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Cons: The plot ends at the last minute.

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra has made another awesome CD. Its combination of classical and modern music is astonishing, and they do it in a way that's thrilling to listen to. A succession of twenty-two awesome tracks is waiting to enchant the listener....

Pros: Takes the listener deeper into Beethoven, with gusto!
Cons: None.

I have seen TSO 3 times and love the blends of different musical styles. This Beethoven rendition is exemplary in the essence of Ludwig's fantastic talent and the adaptational expertise of TSO!
A must for all classic and rock lovers.
