In 2019, Beethoven was revealed as Australia's favourite composer, topping the Classic 100: Composer countdown. And so in 2020, to celebrate his 250th birthday, we're dedicating the Classic 100 to Beethoven. We're asking you: what's your favourite Beethoven?
Beethoven epitomises the hope and humanity at the core of music's purpose, from the inspiring story of the deaf man who became the greatest composer of all time, to the moments when Beethoven has provided a soundtrack to the great events of history, to the comfort and joy of his music in our everyday lives.
This 8CD set contains music from all 100 of the best-loved works by Australia's favourite composer, Ludwig van Beethoven: the easy grace and charm of his youth, his groundbreaking symphonies and string quartets, the anguish and triumph of his struggles with deafness, and the visionary genius of his final years.
