5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Beethoven!, April 15, 2008

This review is from: Beethoven [Irish Songs / Welsh Songs / Scottish Songs] (Audio CD)

This is a perfect introduction to Beethoven's creative output as a folksong setter. It contains a wonderful selection from his settings of Scottish, Irish and Welsh songs all with piano trio and soprano.

You get a real sense of creativity and beautiful genius at work here!

The recording is excellent and all performers shine through giving real meaning and flavour to these English folksongs!

A great treat!

(I would probably try this disc first before venturing for the complete set on DG).
