貝多芬是真正堪稱「樂聖」而無愧的一個人。「聖」就是「極緻」，只能被發揚、傳承或衍生，不可能被超越或取代；至今貝多芬仍是支持整個西方音樂體系的主要巨幹。大部份近代的音樂潮流和思想，從布拉姆斯、華格納到荀貝格，從管弦樂法到鋼琴流派，都可追溯和貝多芬的源流關係。

貝多芬的創作時期約可以分成三個時期：第一個時期是對前輩海頓、莫札特的模仿期，約當早期1802年。代表作有第一號交響曲、早期鋼琴奏鳴曲；第二時期是到1814年的盛年期，作品充滿力度和熱情，例如著名的《命運》、《英雄》、《田園》交響曲，《熱情》、《悲愴》、《熱情》奏鳴曲……等。晚年作品充滿深沈的人生歷練，作品宏偉而富有前瞻性，如《合唱》交響曲、《莊嚴彌撒》、後期弦樂四重奏……等。

為了紀念即將在2020年十二月到來的貝多芬二百五十週年冥誕，華納音樂特別編選了這一套貝多芬作品的最佳入門曲目專輯。除了檔案室裡的貝多芬作品經典錄音，還有七軌錄音是經過重新後製，像是艾馬爾與哈農庫特的《合唱幻想曲》與第三號鋼琴協奏曲、阿忒彌絲弦樂四重奏的第八號弦樂四重奏《拉祖莫夫斯基》、拉圖的歌劇《費德里奧》選曲、高提耶‧卡普松的莫札特《魔笛》〈對愛有感覺的男人〉主題七段變奏、凡格洛夫的《克羅采》奏鳴曲，以及維也納海頓三重奏的第七號鋼琴三重奏《大公》。
