Beethoven

Thursday, January 10, 2013

Beethoven made four attempts to write an overture for his lone opera Fidelio; Leonore No. 3, with its thrilling off-stage trumpet fanfare, is widely regarded as his greatest. Radu Lupu performs Beethoven's First Piano Concerto, with its introspective passion simmering behind militaristic rhythms. We then return to the Beethoven of revolutionary, groundbreaking statements with his mighty Eroica Symphony.
