What can I say other than this is a great CD. Beethoven was a master and his music will live forever. Altough I don't like every single symphony he composed, I love all the pieces on this album. These selections have "fire and passion," and I listen to them over and over again. Enjoy!!

I wanted a sampling of Beethoven's works after viewing "Copying Beethoven" and this CD lived up to my expectations. This CD is a good overview of some of his great works. Glad I bought it.

Bought this one used. A very solid collection of music by Beethoven. Have many of the selections on this disc elsewhere but this is a convenient collection to play.
