The Trans-Siberian Orchestra`s first non-holiday-themed album, Beethoven`s Last Night, incorporates some of the composer`s most noted pieces with original ones that peer into Beethoven`s psyche. Pieces like "What Is Eternal," "What Good This Deafness," and "Last Illusion" update Beethoven`s dramatic, portentous style, while "Requiem (the Fifth)" and "Fur Elise" lend themselves surprisingly well to the orchestra`s stylized fusion of classical and rock music. Fans of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra`s other work won`t be disappointed by Beethoven`s Last Night`s theatrical, orchestral song cycle. ~ Heather Phares
