5.0 out of 5 stars Your Spirit's Gonna Soar!, June 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Beethoven: Forever by the Sea (Audio CD)

As I listen to this album I really feel as if I'm sitting at the edge of the ocean, with my feet just barely being touched by the cool water. I can be at the Sea while doing homework, when in bed and about to fall asleep, or while eating dinner by candlelight.

That is what I like about this album...for I truly do believe that music has healing powers--much like the famed "Mozart Affect". Especially when I listen to the "Pastoral" and "Joyful" pieces--beautiful renditions of what Beethoven surely must have heard even when he was deaf. Just beautiful...simply relaxing and peaceful.

This review is from: Beethoven: Forever by the Sea (Audio CD)

As a Freshman in college in '99, one of my roommates had this CD. We often had it playing as we all relaxed and studied, or were drifting off to sleep. It was so calming and so relaxing, and it was always something I remembered and wanted to find. Especially for the last track, Moonlight Sonata. I finally thought to look on Amazon, found it for much less than I was willing to pay, and I now look forward to purchasing more titles in the "By the Sea" series. It's every bit as wonderful and relaxing as I recalled. I'm going to be married soon, and this will certainly be packed along for the honeymoon and taken out for romantic nights in front of the fireplace.
