Grillparzers "Erinnerungen an Beethoven", sowie einige Briefe aus der Feder des Komponisten selbst lassen uns den Menschen hinter dem Jahrhundertgenie Beethoven erahnen. Anders als oft angenommen zeigt sich der große Musiker als feinfühlig, verletzlich und im Grunde wahrhaft menschenfreundlich.

Das erste Mal, dass ich Beethoven sah, war in meinen Knabenjahren - es mochte in den Jahren 1804 oder 5 gewesen sein - und zwar bei einer musikalischen Abendunterhaltung im Hause meines Onkels, Joseph Sonnleithner, damaligen Gesellschafters einer Kunst- und Musikalienhandlung in Wien. Außer Beethoven befanden sich noch Cherubini und Abbé Vogler unter den Anwesenden.

Ludwig van Beethoven's life story is that of a radical individualist in uncertain times. The music–effective and profound, quirky and poetic, sensual and philosophical, and constantly in search of the new–plays a leading role here.

Beethoven hat Christian Thielemann auf seinem musikalischen Lebensweg begleitet wie kaum ein anderer Komponist. Es ist das von Grund auf Menschliche an Beethovens Musik, das für Thielemann den Kern ihrer Faszination ausmacht. Der Meisterdirigent, der wie wenige vor ihm in die Werkstatt Beethovens geschaut und die Spuren seines Genies gesucht hat, erklärt, warum wir Beethoven noch immer brauchen und welche enormen Schwierigkeiten sich bei ihm für jeden Dirigenten stellen. Er geht der unübertroffenen Größe seiner Symphonien nach und natürlich der Frage, wie man Beethovens Musik heute spielen kann.

Spannend wie ein historischer Roman ist diese Erzählung von Beethovens Leben. Das Hörbuch schildert konzentriert und packend die wichtigsten Stationen seiner Biographie und widmet sich den großen Fragen seiner Persönlichkeit.

Beethoven imbibed Enlightenment and revolutionary ideas in his hometown of Bonn, where they were fervently discussed in cafes and at the university. Moving to Vienna at the age of 21 to study with Haydn, he gained renown as a brilliant pianist and innovative composer. In that conservative city, capital of the Hapsburg empire, authorities were ever watchful to curtail and punish overt displays of radical political views. Nevertheless, Beethoven avidly followed the meteoric rise of Napoleon.

Beethoven by Oxford Professor Laura Tunbridge cuts through the noise in a refreshing way. Each chapter focuses on a period of his life, a piece of music and a revealing theme, from family to friends, from heroism to liberty. It's a winning combination of rich biographical detail, insight into the music and surprising new angles, all of which can transform how you listen to his works. We discover, for example, Beethoven's oddly modern talent for self-promotion, how he was influenced by factors from European wars to instrument building and how he was heard by contemporaries.

For better or worse, Wagner is the most widely influential figure in the history of music. Around 1900, the phenomenon known as Wagnerism saturated European and American culture. A mighty procession of writers, artists and thinkers felt his impact. Anarchists, occultists, feminists and gay-rights pioneers saw him as a kindred spirit. Then Adolf Hitler incorporated Wagner into the soundtrack of Nazi Germany and the composer came to be defined by his ferocious anti-Semitism. Neither apologia nor condemnation, Wagnerism is a work of intellectual passion.

There are also conversations with important musicians who offer fascinating insights about their art.

Amongst all the figures in the history of Western art forms, Beethoven is one of the most radical and influential. Not only did he produce some of the most celebrated and recognizable music of all time, but his influence dramatically accelerated the development of musical composition.

Despite the ups and downs of his personal life and professional career—even in the face of deafness—Beethoven remained remarkably consistent in his most basic convictions about his art. This inner consistency, writes the music historian Mark Evan Bonds, provides the key to understanding the composer's life and works. Discarding tired myths about the composer, Bonds proposes a new way of listening to Beethoven by hearing his music as an expression of his entire self, not just his scowling self.
