Beethoven Overture, Namensfeier
Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1
Beethoven Symphony No. 6, Pastoral
Philharmonia Orchestra, one of the world's great orchestras, makes a rare visit to Aberdeen with its Principal Conductor, Esa-Pekka Salonen, as part of an international Beethoven series marking the 185th Anniversary of the composer's death.
The concert features the Pastoral Symphony. "You ask me where my ideas come from" he once noted, "they come to me in the open air, in the woods whilst walking, in the silence of the night, early in the morning". With its unambiguously bucolic movement titles, this is the composer's attempt to set these sounds and scenes in notes on paper.
