Question:
Anyone know anything about Beethoven? German bloke, played the piano?
I thought I'd try some classical music, and I'm told he wrote a few decent tunes. I'm downloading nine symphonies by the Berlin Philharmonic, are they any good, or just some local band? Which one should I listen to first? Any advice appreciated, I'm trying to improve myself here....
Answers:
Good question. Beethoven is phenomenal. The Berlin Philharmonic recordings of the nine symphonies are the only ones I've heard and are wonderful. Definately not a local band. I would recommend starting with Beethovens ninth (which if you've seen A Clockwork Orange you will recognize) and then try Beethovens fifth. Also, on a different note, you would would probably recognize The Moonlight Sonata which is a lovely piece. Hope this helps! ;-)
