BBC Philharmonic: Stoke on Trent Festival – Beethoven
Clemens Schuldt conducts a thrilling programme of Beethoven at Victoria Hall, concluding with the revolutionary Symphony No.3, ‘Eroica.’
A piece which arguably changed music forever, it is breathless, bold and crackling with electricity. Beethoven completed it aged just 33, and it is regularly voted the greatest symphony of all time.
Before this, we hear one of the UK’s best loved pianists, Martin Roscoe, who will share the deep calm of Beethoven’s serene Piano Concerto No.4.
