Love, Ludwig.

Tenor Thomas Blondelle and the Ryelandt Trio go in search of the romantic in Ludwig van Beethoven. Short loves, lifelong adorations, rejections, and stormy infatuations: his letters show a human of flesh and blood, for whom a happy love life was not self-evident. Who did he call ‘Mijn Engel, my everything, my me’? Who was his ‘unsterbliche Geliebte’? And who was the mysterious ‘Elise’? For this program, the Bruges musicians made a selection from songs, letters, and chamber music by Beethoven. Thomas Blondelle crawls into the skin of Ludwig and sings his way through his amorous life path.
