Beautifully lensed and intelligently crafted.

A splendid work that will be a revelation to the uninitiated and a joy to music lovers.
The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
The best thing about In Search of Beethoven, Phil Grabsky’s biography of the composer, is the company he brings along on the hunt.
What made Ludwig such a great musician? The documentary In Search of Beethoven, directed by Phil Grabsky, answers that question reasonably well.
