БЕТХОВЕН: Человек и судьба | Лекция Александра Великовского

He was called a misanthrope because for a long time no one understood the terrible ordeal fate had in store for him: living and creating while overcoming deafness. However, the less Beethoven heard the world around him, the more brilliant his music became. How is this possible? What gave him the strength to overcome his spiritual crisis? And why is Beethoven's music so necessary for us today? #Beethoven #classicalmusic #lecture Lecturer and performer: Alexander Velikovsky, musicologist, pianist, and PhD in art history.
