Immortal Beloved CD Soundtrack Beethoven
is one of my favorite composers. The music in this movie was superb! After viewing the movie and listening to the music, I knew I must purchase this CD. He composed great symphonies even though he was deaf. Seems impossible!
This soundtrack is no longer available. It was great to find a very good used copy from one of Amazon. com's vendors. Thanks for your continuing service.

Inmortal beloved used CD
Very good quality CD. Said 5 to14 business day but recieved 5 days over weekend. Updating e mail.
Can't belive I just spent less than 2 quarers for this CD.
Thank u very much!!.
Excellent compilation
The approach taken on some numbers by the conductor and performers are quite moving, and for me personally it inspired emotions I haven't found in other versions of the same music. This is my personal favorite rendition of Beethoven's work, although it's only a small sample. This soundtrack made me love Beethoven, it was my first real exposure to his music. Since then I've listened to more complete collections, but personally I never yet felt like they played the excerpts here with the same feeling.
My only complaint is that the CD is too quiet. Some sections I can barely hear when I listen in my car. Maybe I just don't have a trained ear. It would be great on headphones, but even still the overall volume is much less than most music CDs. There's no way I could listen to it while mowing my lawn, like I can with any popular music CD. When I ripped this my CD to MP3 files and played it with others I had to adjust the volume before so I could hear it and after so the next song from a different CD wouldn't be painfully loud.
Overall I'd say this is an excellent CD, the best-sounding recording I've heard of Beethoven and in a presentation that so far I've preferred above all others.
Purchase of CD "Immortal Beloved"
" I actually wore out the cassette tape of this music. This is a repurchase of a collection of Beethoven music from the movie "Immortal Beloved. It is a wonderful collection and I was very happy to find it and receive it so quickly.
Thank you for your help.

an admittedy greenest of the green novices to classical but..
Although I played 'classical' instruments as a youth, like many I 'evidently' didn't appreciate it enough and like almost all of my generation have ventured off into the world of 'popular culture' such that it is. I consider this a sampler as it doesn't include the full repertoire but for my 'green' sensibilities it has made me fall in love with a type of music I previously had no level of interest in. I have since acquired the complete works and have ventured into eploring some of the obvious 'other' composers both 'Baroque and Romantic' North and Southern, East,Central and Western European just to flesh things out somewhat. . . again I claim no breadth of knowledge but for my 'uncultured' ears I can hear and feel the beauty, magic and perfection of Beethoven. Few musical examples can near bring tears to my eyes. . . so far it's only Beethoven and Pink Floyd (LOL!! Comfortably Numb gets me every time sorry. . They are Awesome in the true sense of the word in their own account. . but I digress).
Just to consider what he created irrespective of his personal and physical hurdles it's astounding. . . Such a shame he was such a surly bastard. I think of what else could possibly be the anthem for the European Union and simply there is no contest. . . it's not even close.
If ever you wanted to introduce the wonder of classical music to someone uninterested or unappreciative of it, this is a superb example. I am testament to that! As an aside; it has also made me rank Gary Oldman as one of my favorite Actors EVER and include Georg Solti and the London Philharmonic Orchestra in my personal top 20.
