In Search of Beethoven 4K

2HR 19MIN

This film brings together the world’s leading performers and experts on Beethoven to reveal new insights into this legendary composer. A remarkable 55 performances were filmed, capturing the raw energy of an extraordinary array of world-class artists. Fascinating biographical information is united with extracts from the composer’s letters to reveal the true man.  Delving beneath the mythological image of Beethoven as tortured and cantankerous, the film reveals someone very different and far more endearing.
