Beethoven at the Concertgebouw: Violin Concerto and Symphony No. 3

Over het evenement

Delve into a Napoleonic world as celebrated Austrian violinist Thomas Zehetmair and Jan Willem de Vriend, with the Hague's Residentie Orchestra, present Beethoven's French‐inspired works.

The 'Eroica' Symphony is Beethoven's tribute to Napoleon, regarded by the composer at the time of the work's composition as the embodiment of the democratic ideal. However, the influence of France on his works of this period does not stop at hero‐worship, and the Violin Concerto in D owes much to the French style of violin in vogue at the time.
