Both came to Vienna as foreigners to live and work there, re-shaping the "capital of music" in their own way. In a series of interviews with top music stars Billy Joel, John Malkovich, Hans Zimmer, Joshua Bell, Rebekka Bakken, Julian Rachlin, Juan-Diego Flórez and Yuja Wang, Igudesman uncovers their personal relationship with Beethoven.
