Customer Reviews

Great collection!
Being a big classical music buff, I am always on the look out for albums to add to my collection. After enjoying this 2-CD set from Naxos, I must say this is the greatest gathering of Beethoven pieces in one place that I have ever come across. And because of how impressed I was with this album, I plan on obtaining the others in the series. Highly recommended!

Short shipped
I received this CD with only 1 CD instead of 2.
Tried to contact seller- but no reply yet.
I was very disappointed to have missing the 1 CD that had the songs I wanted.

The Very Best of Beethoven
The CDs are in great condition, but I received them in broken CD cases. Otherwise all is good.
