The Immortal Beloved soundtrack is more than background music for a period drama. It is a hand-picked setlist of Beethoven’s emotional manifesto. Sir Georg Solti, conducting with the knowledge that this was his farewell, extracts a raw, almost violent energy from the London Symphony Orchestra.

Played with a delicate, haunting restraint that anchors the film’s central mystery.

Directed by Bernard Rose, Immortal Beloved takes a unique approach to the biopic genre. Rather than a linear cradle-to-grave narrative, the film functions as a detective story. Following Beethoven’s death, his secretary, Anton Schindler, discovers a three-part letter addressed only to "Immortal Beloved." The film follows Schindler’s journey as he interviews the women in Beethoven’s life to uncover her identity.
