Vienna fostered the development of two extraordinary schools of composers. This first concert of the Nash Ensemble’s series Beethoven Re-Sounded follows the first wave of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. They were to take music to the brink of Romanticism and lay the foundations for Schoenberg and his colleagues to stretch that Romanticism to breaking point. Interspersed with letters from Mozart & Beethoven, and Richard Dehmel’s poem Verklärte Nacht.
