Scottish Chamber Orchestra: Emperor and Eroica
Beethoven admired Cherubini more than any other of his contemporaries, so it's fitting that Cherubini's Overture: Démophoon should set the stage for two works that display Beethoven at his most Promethean: the Piano Concerto No 5 'Emperor' and the Symphony No 3 'Eroica'. Llŷr Williams, who recently completed the entire cycle of Beethoven piano sonatas at Greyfriars Kirk, brings his authority to the solo spot. Andrew Manze conducts.
Scottish Chamber Orchestra: Emperor and Eroica
Thursday 9 February 7.30pm
Cherubini - Overture, Démophoon Beethoven - Piano Concerto No 5 ‘Emperor’ Beethoven - Symphony No 3 ‘Eroica’
Andrew Manze Conductor Llŷr Williams Piano
Hear Beethoven alongside the contemporary he most admired (Cherubini’s Requiem was sung at Beethoven’s funeral), as the great man celebrates both an emperor and a revolutionary in the same evening. Llŷr Williams’ Beethoven is not to be missed. He recently completed his first full cycle of the piano sonatas to huge acclaim, and brings immense authority but also something fascinatingly unworldly to this music
