If you're a kid or a kid at heart chances are you find the thought of Ludwig van Beethoven's silly white wig more amusing than the great composer's timeless compositions. --Renee Montagne, NPR
His songs are funny, but Perlmutter is not just a highbrow "Weird Al" Yankovic. The lyrics are hummable mnemonics, each imparting information about the work or its composer. --Nicole Arthur, The Washington Post
Classical music was never supposed to be this much fun. Was it? --Lori Sears, The Baltimore Sun
