"
Beethoven's Last Night" is the latest album created by the
Trans-Siberian Orchestra, a rock opera group well-known for their hard-edged covers of
Carol of the Bells and other
christmas carols.
This is their most theatrical and story-driven release yet, with compelling vocal tracks balanced out by some of the most astonishing performances of classical music ever recorded.
Track List as follows:
OVERTURE

The standout of the album is by far "Beethoven," an instrumental which fuses "Flight of the Bumblebee" and the "Ode to Joy" and builds to an impressive climax.
