Listening v. Watching
We used to play the original audio cassette version of this entrancing story to our baby daughter. Now we wanted to give the experience to our granddaughter. So we bought the DVD version, but it’s not the same. The audio was great to play for the baby after lights out, to go to sleep by, to fantasise to Beethoven’s glorious music.

Watching the story told in visual form is distracting and doees not achieve the same magic for the imagination.

We’re now going to see if can find the original audio cassette format! But one way or another the stories of composers in these series are a wonderful introduction for young children to the beauty of classical music.

Buy the VHS
I am a public school elementary music teacher and I bought this dvd because it really is a great educational tool. I specifically bought the DVD so that it would be easy to cue for classes. However, HUGE PROBLEM–NO DVD CHAPTERS. If you are going to be cueing the movie for a class, buy the VHS. There is no way short of manually fast forwarding to get to your spot. What a pain. On the upside, the story is fluid and engaging and the length is perfect for a public school setting.

excellent product
I first saw this movie on TV. It is an excellent movie to show to my music students and a real insight into the composer’s life. The actors enchant us with a superb performance. Highly recommended.
