You know the music… but do you know the man?
Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the world’s best loved and most influential composers. His life – its dramas, conflicts, loves and losses – is played out in his music.
Award-winning news reader, presenter and Classic FM host John Suchet (Beethoven: The Man Revealed) shows us the man behind the music, uncovering a difficult and complex character. He talks about Beethoven’s struggles to continue his profession as a musician despite increasing deafness, alienating friends with unprovoked outbursts of anger one moment, overwhelming them with excessive kindness and generosity the next, living in a city in almost constant disarray because of war with France.
This event is part of a series celebrating 250 years of Beethoven which includes performances of the complete Beethoven Quartets taking place throughout the festival.
