Beethoven: Complete Symphonies (1770-1827)

Throughout his lifetime, Beethoven wrote nine symphonies, nine concertos, and a variety of other orchestral music, ranging from overtures and incidental music for theatrical productions to other miscellaneous "occasional" works, written for a particular occasion. The final symphony, the ninth symphony, is not included in this pack but has been provided with a separate link. It is interesting to note that Beethoven wrote the 8th Symphony while losing his hearing and wrote the 9th Symphony when he was completely deaf !

Beethoven: Immortal Beloved (Soundtrack)



The film — a biopic — treats the identity of the "Immortal Beloved" (Unsterbliche Geliebte) of composer Ludwig Van Beethoven as a mystery to be solved by his secretary and first biographer, Anton Schindler. The search for a solution leads to a journey of discovery which takes Schindler to all corners of the Austrian Empire to interview the women who might have some claim to candidacy.
The core of fact upon which the film's speculations are built is as follows:
After Beethoven's death in 1827, three short letters were found among his private papers addressed to a woman whom he calls "immortal beloved". The letters still exist, but there is no consensus among Beethoven scholars as to the identity of the intended recipient. The letters— probably written in the summer of 1812 from the spa town of Teplice — are certainly in Beethoven's handwriting.
Among the most plausible candidates put forward to date are Giulietta Guicciardi, Thérèse von Brunswick, Antonie Brentano, Johanna van Beethoven, Countess Anna-Marie Erdödy, all but one of whom feature in the film.
The film's writer and director, Bernard Rose, has controversially claimed that he himself has successfully identified the woman whom Beethoven loved, a task that has eluded researchers for nearly two hundred years. No scholar or writer on Beethoven has so far endorsed Rose's claim. One, Gail S. Altman, has vociferously disputed it in a book devoted specifically to the question of the woman's identity and Beethoven's relationships in general.

Ludwig van Beethoven


Ludwig van Beethoven (16th December 1770 – 26th March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. He was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most acclaimed and influential composers of all time.
Born in Bonn, then in the Electorate of Cologne in western Germany, he moved to Vienna in his early twenties and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. Beethoven's hearing gradually deteriorated beginning in his twenties, yet he continued to compose, and to conduct and perform, even after he was completely deaf.
