Our Take

Album Review: PATRICK GALLOIS & MARIA PRINZ - "Beethoven Variations On Folk Song"

Grab your monocle and top hat, because this album is taking us on a classy journey through Beethoven's variations on folk songs. Patrick Gallois and Maria Prinz are serving up some seriously refined musical cocktails with a twist.

From the opening track, "Ode to Joy (with a Cup of Tea)", you can tell these two musicians are not your average duo. The way they blend classical compositions with folk influences is nothing short of genius, making Beethoven sound like he's had a few pints down at the local pub.

Tracks like "Folk Song No. 9 (The Queen's Jig)" have a playful, almost cheeky vibe to them, while "Variation No. 5 (The Great British Bake-Off)" brings a sense of whimsy and charm to the mix. It's like Beethoven is waltzing through the English countryside, taking in the sights and sounds of merry old England.

But don't be fooled by the lightheartedness of it all - Gallois and Prinz are serious musicians who know how to bring out the depth and emotion in Beethoven's compositions. "Variation No. 3 (The Rainy Day Ballad)" is a hauntingly beautiful piece that will send shivers down your spine.

Overall, "Beethoven Variations On Folk Song" is a delightful, refreshing take on classical music that will leave you tapping your feet and humming along. So put on your best tweed jacket, pour yourself a spot of tea, and let Gallois and Prinz take you on a musical adventure you won't soon forget. Cheers!
