Beethoven Egmont – overture
Beethoven Piano Concerto No.4
Brahms Symphony No.4
We welcome one of the most distinguished German radio orchestras for a concert of classics by two of their compatriots: Beethoven and Brahms.
Beethoven completed his Fourth Piano Concerto at a pivotal moment in his turbulent life. His hearing rapidly failing, its premiere was the last time he performed in public with an orchestra – in a legendary concert that also saw the premieres of his Fifth and Sixth Symphonies. French pianist Lise de la Salle steps into his shoes tonight following a performance of the composer’s triumphant Egmont overture.
Beethoven’s influence can be heard in Brahms’ final symphony, as can that of Bach. However, this is Brahms’ own work through and through – and it’s a towering achievement that stands comparison with the greatest symphonies in the canon.
