Boldly Beethoven

Wilful, bold and uncompromising. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) is perhaps the composer who more than any other embodies the Romantic genius. Indeed, much like Albert Einstein in the realm of science, Beethoven is the very epitome of the artist who thinks in new and revolutionary ways. We explore Beethoven recordings in our Play library.
