Description

Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony comes with the intensity of feeling that comes from being in Nature.  His Triple Concerto gives us the pleasure of three soloists in partnership and the athletic virtuosity of a concerto. However the concert begins with the Sydney Symphony strings capturing the transparency and inner energy of the ‘Grand Fugue’.

In his Pastoral Symphony, Beethoven – a poet in sound – has gone out into the countryside and brought back the songbirds, the dancing peasants, the babbling brook and the terrifying thunderstorm. And with it comes the intensity of feeling that comes from being in Nature.

The concert begins with the Sydney Symphony strings, capturing the transparency and inner energy of the ‘Grand Fugue’, originally written for four musicians. And in the Triple Concerto we get the triple pleasure of three soloists in partnership and the athletic virtuosity of a concerto.

Beethoven, more Beethoven and nothing but Beethoven…
