In his 56-year lifespan, Beethoven achieved perhaps more than any other composer in history. In fact, this could be extended to any other figure in the creative arts.

He inherited the classical tradition of Mozart and Haydn - whose genius existed within a polite style which prized form and simplicity - and blew it out the water.

Beethoven created a musical world in which a piano sonata could be a powerhouse rivaling the biggest orchestral work; a string quartet could plumb the depth of human emotion; and a symphony could tell a story, whether it be a pleasant trip to the countryside or a journey from despair to triumph.

Add to this the ingredients of the wars and revolutions raging outside Beethoven's window, and his own growing deafness, and you get a unique voice in our musical tradition that has never been rivalled.

This box set from ABC Classics chronicles this astounding life of achievement, with the ultimate collection of Australian recordings of Beethoven's greatest work.
