More Info:

The bands third release employs a combination of the majesty and beauty of Beethoven's best loved compositions with original music and arrangements. The result is a fresh sound with the power and emotion of rock and the dramatic reach of Broadway classics. Highlighted by vocal performances by a number of Broadway veterans, the album is perhaps the most multi-dimensional and impactful TSO recording to date.

Reviews:

''Beethoven's Last Night'' is a concept album by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, released in 2000. The album tells the fictional story of Ludwig van Beethoven on the last night of his life, as the devil, Mephistopheles, comes to collect his soul. With the help of Fate and her son Twist, Beethoven unwittingly tricks the devil and is allowed to keep his soul which he had thought lost, but that the devil had no claim on. The album is a rock opera featuring many classical crossover rock songs which are clearly based on melodies from classical music, particularly Beethoven's works. - Wikipedia
