Beethoven's Fifth: Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

O akci

The RLPO and Vasily Petrenko present a powerful and moving programme with Beethoven's famous 5th Symphony and Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 with the soloist Andreas Haefliger.

“Thus Fate hammers on the door!” declared Beethoven. And with just four explosive notes, he changed the course of musical history. The Beethoven series wouldn’t be complete without Beethoven’s Fifth – and if all you know of it is that incredible beginning, Vasily Petrenko is set to reveal its full glory. Brahms’ First Piano Concerto isn’t quite what you expect either, especially if you think of Brahms as a bearded old gent who wrote lullabies! This is the passionate cry of a young artist crushed by a hopeless love; huge in scale, stupendously difficult, and driven by an almost volcanic passion. With the great Andreas Haefliger at the keyboard, you’ll be gripped.
