Complete Beethoven Edition

Search: Light Dragoon
from: Deutsche Grammophon

Release Date November 01, 1997
Some people consider Beethoven to have been the greatest composer ever. I prefer Mozart, but Beethoven gave him a run for his money. At his best, Beethoven is unbeatable; at his worst he's an acquired taste. This, being the complete set of his works, contains all of his best, worst, and everything in between.

Everyone is familiar with Beethoven's symphonies, a few of his sonatas, and maybe an overture or two, but who has heard his versions of British folk songs? Would you be surprised to be thumbing through a catalogue of Beethoven music and be presented with "Norah of Balamagairy", "The Lovely Lass of Inverness", and "Paddy O'Rafferty"?

If you like Beethoven then this is a must-buy. If your only experience is what you've ... Read More:

The Best of Military Bands: the Essential Collection

Search: Light Dragoon
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 28, 2003
This BOX SET "The Best of the Military Bands" is a good choice but I suggest that you also check "100 Military Band Favourites" that is a 5 CD BOX SET at a very low price. There are many CD of military music that have always the same marches, played by the same bands with the same orchestration. So, usually, the biggest differences between all these CDs are only the price and the number of tunes. However, it is a good BOX SET but check the other CDs and BOX SETS too.

The Definitive Collection

Search: Light Dragoon
by: Eliza Carthy

Release Date October 06, 2003
1) She's part of folk royalty (if you didn't know) - her dad is Martin Carthy, her mum is Norma Waterson (both legends in their own right), her aunt and uncle are Lal and Mike Waterson and Oliver Knight is her cousin!
2) She can't half play the fiddle.
3) She has one of the most beautiful voices you'll ever hear, and she can really sing, I mean, really. I saw her live and the first song she did accapella... gobsmacking. And she's from Yorkshire! What more do you want?!
4)Her versatilty. Some of her songs are thigh-slappingly folktastic but then you get songs like Stumbling On, which is more or less jazz, or Billy Boy, which starts of sounding almost like dub reggae, goes folky and then has a Santana-ish guitar solo. And it's not ... Read More:
