Award-winning filmmaker Phil Grabsky and Seventh Art Productions, the makers of 2007’s arthouse hit In Search of Mozart, are back in theaters with a new feature-length biographical film about the life of Ludwig van Beethoven.
From his early piano concertos through the “Moonlight Sonata,” "Für Elise, “ and the immortal notes of the Fifth and Ninth Symphonies, Beethoven’s music remains as beloved, popular, and relevant as any work of art has ever been.
In Search of Beethoven brings together the world’s leading performers and experts on Beethoven to reveal new insights into this celebrated composer.
The lineup of performers and interviewees includes Gianandrea Noseda, Sir Roger Norrington, Riccardo Chailly, Claudio Abbado, Fabio Luisi, Frans Brüggen, Ronald Brautigam, Hélène Grimaud, Vadim Repin, Janine Jansen, Paul Lewis, Lars Vogt, and Emanuel Ax, among others.
