Beethoven: Symphony No. 4
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic
Elisabeth Brauss (piano)
Ben Gernon (conductor)
Drum roll please! The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic returns to the Royal Albert Hall for the first time since August 2019 opening their concert of Classical masterpieces with Haydn's exuberant and life-affirming Symphony No 103, a work alert to the taste of Londoners in the 1790s and the 2020s. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ New Generation Artist Elisabeth Brauss joins them for Mozart's intimate Piano Concerto No 23 (K 488) with its sunny outer movements enclosing a heartbreaking, melancholy adagio. Their concert ends with Beethoven's Fourth Symphony, a work that immediately opens a new chapter in symphonic writing with its dark, searching introduction giving way to an effervescent volcano of energy. Ben Gernon conducts.
