This CD and the research that forms its foundation was twelve years in the making.

Who could that woman have been to whom Beethoven addressed (in very sloppy handwriting, written with "her" pencil!) the ten-page letter, found, after the composer's death, in a secret drawer of his desk, which contained those tantalizing words: "unsterbliche Geliebte," "immortal Beloved"?
