  • Andy Bush finds out about the objects of Beethoven's affections - and it turns out there were quite a few. Who was the Immortal Beloved? Who's the Elise in 'Fur Elise'? And where do llamas and bowls of urine come into all of this? The guests in this podcast are clarinettist Julian Bliss, violinist Nicola Benedetti, conductor Karin Hendrickson, leader of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra Maya Iwabuchi, conductor Mark Elder and cellist Matthew Barley.
