From a pure-pleasure standpoint, the first Beethoven's Wig was nothing to flip over, and the second disc in the series follows suit. However, that is not to say that this is not a valuable and possibly ingenious record. Those unfamiliar with the premise will quickly get the picture: Producer/writer/lead singer/chief clever guy Richard Perlmutter gathers a bundle of important classical works (Paganini's "Violin Concerto #2," Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz") and makes up silly, catchy lyrics to lay over them, informing the listener about the piece or its composer. Standing out for their offbeat brilliance this time are "Dvorak the Czechoslovak" ("Humoresque #7," Dvorak) and "Wow What a Wedding Cake" (Wedding March from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mendelssohn). Few stabs at mixing education with entertainment succeed so well. As a bonus, the second half of the CD repeats the symphonies straight up, presenting a neat opportunity to quiz kids 5-12 on what and who they've just heard. --Tammy La Gorce

 No good February 3, 2009
Maggie (Long Island)
Believe the people who say this one is not as good as the first. The whole thing just seems like rejects from the first volume. And the reasons they were rejected become clear. None of the songs on this CD, or any of the others that follow, impart the same type of info as the first CD. You can listen to this one for months and still not know the composers or the real name of the pieces. Only the first CD does that--and does it well!!
 Great CD January 19, 2009
J. Johnson (Baton Rouge, LA)
The whole family loves this CD! It's a fun way to introduce the kids to classical music.
A must for Beethoven's Wig fans September 3, 2008
C. Miller (California)
There are just as many great sing alongs in this CD as in the first. Most of the tracks are very singable (the Brahms piece is difficult). Lots of fun and plenty of goofy lyrics.
Rollicking Fun July 1, 2008
Willis L. Burroughs (Jacksonville, FL USA)
My kids absolutely love this. They could listen to it over and over. I like it as well. A great, fun way to learn to love classical music.
Love it! June 27, 2008

As a music teacher, this album and the other two are incredibly useful and fun!!! I'm so glad this fellow has done what he's done!
