In 1970, Argentinian-Israeli conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim and his close friend, filmmaker Christopher Nupen, collaborated on a thirteen-part series about Ludwig van Beethoven – marking the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the composer's birth. Lost to the British public for half a century, this series of films has never been shown together on national television in the UK. Now, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary in 2020, the episodes have been resurrected in their original form.
In Episode 2, Barenboim shines the spotlight on Beethoven’s innovations: just as he refused to show subservience to his aristocratic patrons or “assume the role of a cook", he flouted convention in music. He chose to enliven his sonatas and symphonies with a frenetic, intense Scherzo in place of the Minuet movement that was so ingrained in tradition and society.
