Carter, Beethoven

Emmanuel Pahud (flute), ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Thierry Fischer. Elliott Carter: Flute Concerto (UK premiere). Beethoven: Symphony No 7.

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Suzy Klein

Renowned flautist Emmanuel Pahud joins the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Thierry Fischer for two major new concertos. Framing them are two of Beethoven's most inventive and joyous symphonies.

Carter's Flute Concerto is a dazzling creation. Written in 2008 at the age of 99, it contrasts the flute's lyrical qualities with a percussive orchestral texture. Dalbavie set out to write a homage to Debussy, and whilst his concerto is certainly rooted in the great French tradition, it's also full of fireworks and exploding excitement.
