Latest News
Beethoven continues to make news, nearly 200 years after his death.
You will find his name not just on the arts and review pages of the
newspapers, but on the news pages too.
Letters and manuscripts up for auction; hitherto unknown works
discovered; new theories to explain his deafness; new books; new
recordings.....
In time I hope to list upcoming Beethoven concerts and recitals -
first at concert halls around Britain, and later more widely afield.
I will endeavour to keep up with all the latest news about Beethoven
on these pages of www.madaboutbeethoven.com.
