Details
Philippe Herreweghe returns to the Palau with his clear and refined vision of the transition between Classicism and Beethovenian Romanticism. In this programme, Symphony No. 2 reveals a Beethoven in full creative effervescence, with writing full of vigour and boldness. In the Eighth, the composer lets loose with humour and wit, in one of his most singular and brilliant works. The concert opens with the refined Piano Concerto No. 4, where Beethoven displays all his lyricism and formal balance. A unique opportunity to rediscover these three pillars of the repertoire with the historical sound and exquisite interpretation of Herreweghe and his orchestra.
