Beethoven's Wig Beethoven's Wig 3: Many More Sing-Along Symphonies (CD)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Beethoven's Wig 3: Many More Sing-Along SymphoniesCondition: NewDescription: More zany lyrics set to the greatest hits of classical music, these sing along symphonies feature a variety of different instruments from the familiar to the fascinating. The instrumental performance of each piece is also included. CD booklet includes lyrics, trivia, questions and activities. Outside of Kidz Bop and Disneymania!, you won't find a lot of kids' series racking up the kind of sales that merit three installment, which is why the creators of Beethoven's Wig ought to step out of the orchestra pit and take a bow. Not only have they made it to No. 3, they've done it with a concept that veers sharply and unswervingly into educational territory. From the toot of the first cornet to the timpani's final thump, not a tired note has surfaced yet. For newcomers, here's a primer: Head wig-flipper Richard Perlmutter leads a respectable-sounding ensemble of singers and musicians in the loopy lyricizing of classic symphonic pieces. Everything from Handel to Rossini gets the word treatment. Instead of random witticisms, though, the lyrics he ascribes are meant to impart something memorable about the music. Thus, Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 4 is wedded to a charming ditty called "Chap in a Cap" and Bizet's "Toreador" song from Carmen comes to life with images of a bull in a China shop. Where Beethoven's Wig 3 differs from the others is in its focus on individual instruments--clarinets, mandolins, bassoons and basses all get the Wig equivalent of a shout-out. Otherwise, it's a return to form: Liner notes crammed not only with lyrics, but with fun questions and answers (How many fingers do harpists use when they play? Eight), a second half devoted to unsullied versions of the sung symphonies, and blasts of familiar sound leeched of stuffiness. Cue it up for anybody under 12 and keep your fingers crossed. With any luck, Perlmutter and company will come through with a fourth volume. --Tammy La GorceFormat: CDGenre: ClassicalArtist: Beethoven's WigNo Of Discs: 1Country/Region of Manufacture: USARecord Label: RounderLanguage: EnglishEAN: 0011661812529 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
