Disappointing
I expected this to be really good due to the high rating given it by others. However, both my wife and I found this very disappointing. We felt the mix of drama and documentary didn't work very well. The drama was rarely believable and was so long-winded that it left very little time to discuss the music. How many times, and for how long do we need to see Beethoven looking grumpy or shouting? I also never found Paul Rhys believable. I've seen other Charles Hazelwood documentaries and they seemed to be much more informative. At the end, I felt that I had learnt very little.
Immortal Beloved may have been inaccurate, but it seemed to communicate the character and passion of Beethoven much better.
