The Hallé and Sir Mark Elder: Beethoven 3

Rohan Shotton, 7th November

John Adams’s Harmonium accompanied the third instalment in the Hallé Beethoven cycle to form an exciting programme of music united by being very radical in its time. Harmonium, composed in 1980, is a choral triptych of ‘poems of transcendental vision,’ as the composer writes, underpinned by minimalism inspired by the likes of Reich and Glass.
