Here's another journalist reference to a celebrity
consuming classical music, usually such articles
don't mention anything specific, as if all classical
sounds the same, but BBC Music Magazine at least
narrows it down to Beethoven. But not a clue as
to what Beethoven is being played, just that
LeBron relaxes to it. Some people can relax to
Beethoven music especially at it's most dramatic
intensity, so saying that is calms the athlete
is not saying much. BBC likes puns, so I'll
add the pun "Court German":
Court Composer
News of a more positive use of Ludvig
reaches us from the States, with the
basketball superstar LeBron James revealing
that it is classical music that he turns to
while preparing for a game. The L.A. Lakers
power forward, who has earned more than
anyone in the history of the NBA, says that
he likes to stick on a little bit of Beethoven to calm
down between leaving the weight room and
heading onto the court. It clearly works.
