Product Review : Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies

I found 'Beethoven's Wig' quite by accident while browsing on Amazon, and after listening to the snippets provided, I was laughing so hard that I knew I had to buy it. What a wonderful way to get young children interested in music! And of course, it's not only for children. I actually bought this as a present for my mother, who has been a classical music lover HER whole life (and who would [be so upset] if I revealed her age), and she was tickled pink by it!It's actually an old tradition to mate "fun" lyrics to classical music in order to make the music easy to learn. My mother tells me how she learned 'Morning' from the 'Peer Gynt Suite' as 'Morning is dawning/And Peer Gynt is yawning/Under a statue of Grieg', and I myself know two crazy versions of the 'Soldier's Chorus' from 'Faust'. Richard Perlmutter here is a worthy successor to this tradition. Here he makes up wonderful lyrics for 11...

It evokes a century of musical storytelling, in the most whimsical and clever traditions spanning Gilbert & Sullivan to Tin Pan Alley to the best of Sesame Street. Lyricist and singer Richard Perlmutter is clearly someone who understands children as well as he understands music, and his love and passion for both fairly burst through the speakers on every track. Fur Elise alone is worth the price of the CD. And Beethoven�, Wig is not just for small children: my 12-year old daughter, upon hearing the lyrics sung to Fur Elise, dashed immediately to the piano, which she had given up two years ago and began playing the piece again for the first time since I can remember and singing Perlmutter�'s delightful lyrics from the activity booklet included in the CD package. Now she's...

I can't help but think of the fond memories I have of those days with my mom as we listened together and she taught me to appreciate this fine music. Therefore I sincerely believe this CD is a good purchase for children who are just beginning to get acquainted with classical music.The first part of the CD preps the child to be receptive to classical music by the use of some fun and silly lyrics (which are well written) to go along with the music excerpts. As the CD tracks progress the same music is played again--but this time without the silly lyrics--to get the child to hear the beauty of the music. I think this is a valuable tool to entice kids to listen to and appreciate classical music. Children need to be exposed to the arts and this CD helps accomplish that. The quality of the sound is rather good and the CD has a pretty good... Read more |
