4 stars At the time of releasing "Beethoven's Last Night", Savatage was in his post-Criss Oliva best moment, having released two masterpieces such as "Dead Winter Dead" and "The Wake of Magellan".

And under the name of Trans-Siberian Orchestra (let's not forget that they were the same musicians, composers and producers), Savatage made this album that, following a scheme of good against evil already presented in their album about the Sarajevo war, offered us interesting rock versions of works by Beethoven (and Mozart) interspersed with grandiose ballads and some somewhat darker and rockier songs.

And despite the corny and somewhat ridiculous story, the album is listened to with delight from beginning to end, constituting without a doubt the best album by Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill and company under the name of Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

And without a doubt, this album is the best to introduce you to this band if you never listened to them, especially if you don't like Christmas music!

Best Tracks: It's hard to stick to single songs because of the high quality of the album and how well they work and flow together.

My Rating: ****
