Presto Music Classical Podcast,
Beethoven in Nine Pieces with Laura Tunbridge
This week I am joined by Professor Laura Tunbridge, whose book, Beethoven: A Life in Nine Pieces (published earlier this year by Viking Books) offers new perspectives on the man, the music and early nineteenth-century Vienna in this, the year of his 250th anniversary. On the show Laura guides us through the nine works that she chose for the book, which help to cast this complicated genius in a new light.

The winner of the 2020 Presto Book Award for Best Composer Biography is now available in paperback. Each chapter focuses on a period of Beethoven's life, a piece of music, and a revealing theme, from family to friends, from heroism to liberty, transforming how we listen to his works. It provides a compelling, human portrayal of Beethoven and a fascinating journey into one of the world's most amazing creative minds.
