Not meant for bedtime (2003-09-02)

The music on this CD is beautiful, but it is not quite right for bedtime. I had my little girl all snuggled in and just as she would start to get sleepy, the music would get very loud and then go soft again awaking her. We did this about 5 times thinking it would get better, before I finally turned it off. I plan to use it in the car instead.

My Favorite CD ever! (2002-10-05)

This CD can help me relax and get in the mood for sleep no matter how hectic my day has been. It also works wonders at getting my infant daughter to sleep! The music is beautiful and some of Beethoven's best work.

Add a Great CD to Your Collection! (2002-07-03)

Beethoven at Bedtime has all of the beautiful classic Beethoven peices in the same cd. The music is soft and soothing. A wonderful addition to any CD collection. Works great as background music as well.

If you know Beethoven, you don't need this. (2001-11-28)

This is a fair-to-middling CD, containing no real gems or duds. Of course, it has "Fur Elise" and "Moonlight Sonata," but you can get those tunes on ANY Beethoven comp. I bought this because it was the cheapest CD I could find with the "Pathetique" piano sonata on it--the one Karl Haas uses as the theme to his "Adventures in Good Music." I used it for a weeding album. So it's pop, so what? The bottom line here is that most of the music WILL put you to sleep--because it's not Beethoven's best work; but, the CD is cheap and, if it has anything you want on it, it's worth it on the cost-effective front.

Beethoven's best (2001-08-12)

Despite the title, this cd contains some of the world's most magnificent classical pieces, which can cause listeners to play it twenty four hours a day. The collection of Beethoven's most relaxing, sweet and elaborate music is a true gem, not to mention the great price. Due to the fact that pieces such as the popular Moonlight Sonata and soothing Emperor Sonata are so spectacular, this cd certainly does not cause me to go to sleep because I sincerely enjoy listening to Beethoven's powerful compositions. The haunting Adagio Cantibile is wonderfully played on the piano. Therefore, pieces for the piano and for entire symphony orchestras are included in this cd.
