Rating:  - Another great, funny CD.
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!
Rating:  - Love it
This is a great avenue for introducing classical music to ALL ages. A fun "listen to" adventure.
Rating: - Excellent Addition
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.
Rating: - More fun and silliness for Beethoven's Wig fans
There are some really fun tracks on this CD, plus there are American composers (Sousa and Joplin) for the first time.
Rating: - Sequels - who needs `em? (Kids and music lovers, that's who.)
I've always been suspicious -- even cynical -- about sequels. So after the original Beethoven's Wig swept my daughter away while so engagingly reintroducing me to some favorite classics, I was pleasantly surprised when Wig 2, and then Wig 3, somehow managed to sustain the magic of Wig 1. I thought it couldn't get any better, and then here comes Wig 4. The artist may not like this, but I have to tell you to jump to the last cut first -- "Beep Beep Beep," lyricist/vocalist Richard Perlmutter's take ... Read More
