A Christian Science Monitor Top 10 Book of the Month
"Swafford's craftsmanship shines...The book is two books: a biography and a series of journeys through the music, a travelogue with an excitable professor. Readers will want to have a recording playing so they can match metaphors to sounds. I found myself engaged by his imagery, sometimes delighted and surprised."
-Jeremy Denk, New York Times Book Review
"Impassioned and informed...Swafford's exuberance is infectious, prompting the reader to revisit works both famous and obscure."
-The New Yorker
"[T]he stately rhythm, carefully etched detailing and oceanic sweep of this ambitious book mirror the complexity and richness of Beethoven's revolutionary Romanticism...surrender to it and it's easy to be swept away...Swafford comes marvelously equipped to take on the enormousness of Beethoven's life and work - his heights of inspiration, depths of suffering, the roots and range of his masterworks...Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph doesn't drown in its musicology so much as achieve a buoyant balance of technical and human detail."
-Matt Damsker, USA TODAY
"Compelling...Despite the wealth of historical detail, this is no dry academic tome, but a biography full of colorful descriptions of the composer and his milieu...Comprehensive, detailed, and highly readable, this is an entertaining biography that should find favor with music lovers and history buffs."
-Seattle Times
"Swafford creates the perfect blend of a historical person and musical genius...Monumental...A truly remarkable biography."
-Christian Science Monitor
"Swafford's writing on Beethoven's music is perceptive and illuminating. But just as impressive is his sympathetic portrait of Beethoven the man. Swafford's book, which should be placed alongside the excellent biographies by Lewis Lockwood and Maynard Solomon, does not diminish any of the composer's flaws. Instead, it suggests that these flaws were inconsequential compared with the severity of the composer's anguish and the achievement of his music."
-Washington Post
"Swafford has a knack for bringing in the reader wholly unschooled in the technical vernacular of classical music. That skill is in evidence in this blend of biography and musical assessment. Even if you don't know the difference between a leitmotif and a lighthouse, don't sweat it, for this is, more than anything, a saga of a man at odds with so many things: convention, social mores, himself, women, his family ... If this isn't exactly the Beethoven that Schroeder of 'Peanuts' fame worshiped, it's a more believable characterization, and, more than that, one gets a better sense of how this roiling personality produced works to roil the human soul."
-Boston Globe
"An immersive, comprehensive view...The book has a biopic feel...Lively"
-The New York Review of Books
"This combination of gripping biography and readable analysis of Beethoven's compositions is a book for all Beethoven enthusiasts, full of insights and memorable vignettes, old and new."
-Washington Times
More than a decade in the making, this will be the standard Beethoven biography for years to come.
