Description

Join us on a journey of exploration and familiarization with one of the greatest composers ever, Ludwig van Beethoven! Who was he really? The last of the austere classical composers? Or, then again, the first of the great romantics? A rebel, profoundly religious, tormented, and with his hearing starting to go from the age of 28, always pushing the boundaries, always searching for something new, always with music his guiding light. His rebellious nature is heard in the fiery first movement of his Fifth Symphony, his love of Nature shines through in his Sixth, and, as regards his Seventh, we quote the later (also German) composer Richard Wagner: “the apotheosis of dance.” Ludwig van Beethoven, a German giant like no other!
