BEETHOVEN (THE VERY BEST OF)

For many people, Beethoven is the greatest composer who ever lived. His music reflects his titanic personality and his heroism in the face of adversity. This enticing collection offers a 2 CD overview of his most important works, including his ground-breaking Symphonies and Piano Concertos, and his gigantic choral epics such as the ‘Ode to Joy’ from Symphony No. 9 ‘Choral’, signature tune to the European Union. Walt Disney immortalised Symphony No. 5 in the 1940s classic Fantasia.
