BEETHOVEN GREATEST HITS BY SONY MASTERWORKS ARTISTS
Four notes... that's all it takes to flood the memory with recognition when hearing the "Allegro Con Brio" movement of Ludwig Van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Beethoven, noteworthy for composing a large chink of his masterpieces as a deaf man, was a composer with talent for creating epic anthems. Take his "9th Symphony"… choral passages and grandiose themes bubble under the surface for almost twenty minutes before gloriously breaking free in the final stretch with the soaring "Ode to Joy." Beethoven was also skilled at quiet poignancy, as heard in his expert piano work. "Fur Elise" and his famous "Moonlight Sonata" pack intensity in lullaby-esque, gliding notes, allowing for equal measures of elegance and strong melody. BEETHOVEN GREATEST HITS brings these pieces, along with several others, into one fine compilation that chronicles the musicianship of this legendary composer.
