Heroic Beethoven - Heroic Beethoven (CD)

Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the towering heroes of music. As a composer, he became a transformational, sometimes revolutionary force. As a man of spirit and inspiration, he triumphed over deafness to produce a wealth of masterpieces. Over the course of more than two centuries, his works have delighted, surprised, amazed and moved listeners. The greatest moments of his multi-faceted genius - from the heroic to the intimate - can be experienced here in performances by instrumentalists, singers and conductors of the utmost distinction.
