Four titans on one stage: Bach, Brahms, Beethoven and Mozart at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées

Leopold Tobisch, 13th November

Bach, Brahms, Beethoven and Mozart: four insurmountable composers, each a titan of classical music in his own right. Every one of these composers would normally dominate a position of focus in a classical concert programme. It is rare, therefore, to see these composers side by side in a concert, simply due to a need for variety and not a heavy-handed evening filled with canonical works.
