“Watch out for him. One day he’ll give the world something to talk about.”
This is the actual quotation uttered by the older Mozart when he was talking about the then teen musical genius Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 to 1827). It is found in this documentary that presents the life and works of Beethoven. Besides learning about the man behind the music, we get to hear, through actual performances, mesmerizing extracts of his powerful, dramatic music.

Throughout this documentary are brief comments by respected others such as conductors, pianists, violinists, musicologists, and Beethoven scholars. All comments are interesting and informative.
This film is narrated by the actor (known especially for his Shakespearean talents) Kenneth Branagh.
What amazed me about this film is that, despite being only an hour long, it covers an incredible amount regarding Beethoven’s life. With the addition of actual performances of Beethoven’s works, this documentary is thus incredibly enjoyable and not ever boring.
I will give Beethoven’s principal works below and include a specific extract example(s) of such a work from this film in parenthesis:
(1) Orchestral music: nine symphonies (#6 “Pastoral,” #3 “Erotica,” #5, #7, #9 “Choral”)
(2) Concertos: five for piano (#1, #2, #5 “Emperor”); one for violin (Violin Concerto in D); one triple concerto for piano, violin, and cello
(3) Chamber music: string quartets (#6, #7 “Razumovsky,” String Quartet in B Flat); violin and cello sonatas; one quintet; one septet; serenades
(4) 32 Piano Sonatas (#8 “Pathetique,” #14 “Moonlight,” #23 “Appassionata,” #29); violin and cello sonatas
(5) One Opera (Fidelio)
Finally, the DVD (the one released in 2006) is perfect in picture and sound quality. It has no extras.
In conclusion, for those looking to find a quick way to learn everything about Ludwig van Beethoven (”the second Mozart”) and become acquainted with his magnificent music, this is the film to see!!
(1997; 1 hr; full screen; 11 scenes; made for TV)

I was pleased with the video and have actually used it in teaching a college course for a local university. Also, the product is much better and more reasonably priced as compared to products purchased by my institution at approx. $100 a VHS tape years ago.
