  • Date of change: 3 Apr 12 - T01914956455

Berlin Symphony Orchestra

Work:: Berlin Symphony Orchestra (S966379886)


Production:: (T01914956455)

Ludwig van Beethoven was the ultimate musical revolutionary, and he wrote his Third Symphony as a tribute to the ultimate revolutionary warrior - Napoleon Bonaparte. So when Napoleon betrayed his radical ideals, Beethoven tore up the score in an explosion of rage. There's never been a symphony like the Eroica; two centuries later, music is still reeling from the shockwaves. With the right conductor and orchestra, it's one of music's most electrifying experiences, so we're in luck: the veteran conductor Alexander Liebreich has this music in his blood, and no orchestra is more drenched in the German tradition than the Berlin Symphony. That should make for some suitably demonic thrills in Weber's spooktastic Freischutz overture, too. First, though, youth meets tradition as the remarkable 20-year old piano virtuoso Kit Armstrong brings all his freshness and imagination to Mozart's best-loved piano concerto.
