Composer of the Week - Podcast tekijän mukaan BBC Radio 3 - Perjantaisin

Kategoriat:

Donald Macleod explores the triumphs, friends and foes of Beethoven’s ‘heroic’ phase. This week, Donald Macleod follows Ludwig van Beethoven through the years of 1804-1806; the beginning of what many commentators have called his ‘heroic’ phase. Having weathered a profound psychological crisis, triggered by his failing hearing, Beethoven now throws himself into his composing with renewed energy and strength of spirit. However, that same passionate nature also leads to frequent conflicts. Composer of the Week is returning to the story of Beethoven’s life and music throughout 2020.
