Rossini Overture: Italian Girl in Algiers

BEETHOVEN EMPEROR
Friday 6th December, 7.30pm, Hall One
One composer’ s first great symphony meets another’ s last great piano concerto. Mozart discovered his trademark symphonic brilliance and tunefulness for the first time in the 35th Symphony, a piece whose joyous finale with its rushing scales and lunging changes in texture and volume are heard here after a truly landmark work – Beethoven’ s mammoth‘ Emperor’ concerto, as heroic and virtuosic as it is touching and profound.
