With the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra not having planned concert performances for August, an opportunity presented itself to indulge in Beethoven in this his 250th year. Each of our two sessions, then, this month featured Beethoven compositions entirely. Works from two marvellous concerts in place of the cancelled Solsberg Festival from Switzerland featuring the festival organiser (Cellist, Sol Gabetta) opened each of our sessions, filled out by arguably the best of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas – the Pathetique – and stunning presentations of two “3rds” - the 3rd Piano Concerto and 3rd Symphony.
The notes for each session provide background information for the works plus interesting insights into the artists involved. They also include the video links in each presentation. Enjoy!
