Fresh, elegant, and full of surprises, Beethoven’s Symphony No.1 is poised between tradition and transformation. Classical in form, with nods to Haydn and Mozart, the work is alive with bold new ideas – a glimpse of Beethoven’s revolutionary energy that would redefine the symphony.
But first, the evening begins with a moment of calm. Bach’s Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, reimagined by Respighi, transforms the original chorale into a rich, glowing soundscape for orchestra.
