Charles Hazlewood explores the music of Beethoven's prodigiously creative middle years, a period in which Napoleon's troops swept through Europe. With revolution in the air, Beethoven wrote five symphonies, four concertos and his only opera, Fidelio, which took its inspiration from the Napoleonic ideas of freedom, truth and equality.

Charles Hazlewood 's drama documentary reaches a crescendo with the final tragic years of the composer's life.

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
