This highly entertaining and informative biography presents Beethoven as a working artist rather than a caricatured grumpy genius. It consists of sublime excerpts of his music, and, an extraordinary collection of musicians, conductors and musicologists, sharing their enthusiasm in an accessible and illuminating way. The star of the show is the wonderful music, performed by some of the world's greatest musicians with love and appreciation.
"One of the finest movies about a great musician I've ever seen." Philip French, The Observer
