Keeping Score: Beethoven's Eroica is like a deep dive into Beethoven's psyche through the lens of his monumental Third Symphony. Michael Tilson Thomas conducts the San Francisco Symphony with a thoughtful hand, guiding you through the emotional landscape that Beethoven navigated while composing. The film isn’t just about the music; it's an exploration of the turbulence in Beethoven's life, and how that shaped his work. The pacing feels intimate, almost like you're sitting in on a masterclass rather than just watching a performance. The visuals complement the rich textures of the score, capturing the essence of the Eroica in a way that feels fresh. It’s less a concert film and more an exploration of genius in turmoil.
