5.0 out of 5 stars I really Love This Album <3
Yes Please! Soothing and exciting and purely beautiful! The NOLA infusions show this artist has a mind of his own and that he truly and deeply loves music! I bought his work because I enjoyed this flare during the National Anthem at Super Bowl 2025…Some didn’t like it, but to me it was a breath of fresh, sweet musical air! I loved his performance and I adore this album with my heart and soul…Thank You For this Creation!

Great album. I bought it for my mom who is a classical music fan and she loved it!
5.0 out of 5 stars A modern masterpiece
If you have ever heard Batiste sing or play anything, you know he is covered up with genius. This album is no exception. It's those familiar songs that were taught to my generation by Bugs Bunny, but infused with soul. I absolutely love this entire album. My favorites are the 5th symphony and moonlight sonata.
4.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary Music
Jon Batista is an extremely talented musician with a broad ranch of music genres. Mixing Beethoven and Blues is thrilling to listen to and enjoy. Such wonderful talent
5.0 out of 5 stars What is your impression of Beethoven?
Recently, on the NHK variety show "Chiko-chan ni Shikarareru" (Chiko-chan will be angry ), the question "Why does Beethoven's portrait look angry?" was asked. The answer was that he was not angry at all. The negative image that is circulated on the street, that Beethoven was always in a bad mood, short-tempered and easily angered, influences people who see his portrait, making them look angry. I knew about Jon Batiste's news that he won five Grammy Awards, but I didn't know what kind of performance he would give. I was surprised when I heard the sample recording "Für Elise - Batiste" attached to the newsletter from Universal Music Japan. Isn't this blues? Isn't it a shocking performance for classical musicians who have always been strictly trained to play faithfully to the score? But surely it points to a new direction in interpreting classical music? Batiste said in the newsletter, "How can we evolve classical music into a new form? I wanted to give classical music new power.""Beethoven Blues" also includes three of Batiste's own compositions ("Dusklight Movement", "American Symphony Theme", and "Life Of Ludwig"), which blend seamlessly with the other Beethoven compositions included here. I especially like "Dusklight Movement". The repeated simple phrases increase the sense of loneliness as dusk approaches. Why was this song played after "Moonlight Sonata Blues"? Was the moon we saw earlier not the yellow moon at night, but the white moon that appears at dusk? "Life Of Ludwig" could also be a good third version of "Symphony No 5".Batiste explained in the newsletter about the 5th Symphony in Congo Square: "Congo Square is the name of a historic musical practice site in New Orleans for Africans who were brought to the country as slaves. West African rhythms have two different beats. The inclusion of the beats of 2 and 6 (3), that is, odd and even, allows yin and yang, bittersweet and sweet to coexist. Beethoven's music and African rhythms have something in common, and Beethoven was actually influenced by such primitive African rhythms." The 5th Symphony has the subtitle "Fate." This performance even expresses the "fear" and "horror" that people brought to a foreign land as slaves would have felt. It seems to convey how they felt about their "fate.""Für Elise - Reverie" is not only the best piece, but also the longest. Batiste describes Beethoven as "a mythical, transcendental figure who portrays through his music the many things that make up our world". Through this piece, we can feel Batiste's joy at being able to converse so intimately with such a great figure. This piece perfectly illustrates Batiste's reasoning behind choosing "Reverie" instead of "Reprise" as the title.
Wunderbar!
Jon Batiste ist ein grossartiger Musiker!
