Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra: Eroica

О событии

Enjoy this unique RLPO concert with works by Beethoven and Prokofiev with the violinist James Ehnes and Andrew Manze at the baton.

Two mighty chords shatter the silence, and Beethoven’s Third Symphony explodes into the world. Beethoven wrote his “Heroic” symphony as a tribute to a great revolutionary warrior – but when those ideals were betrayed, he slashed the score in a fit of rage. Conductor Andrew Manze has devoted his career to the music of the 18th century; so he’s just the man to bring this instalment of the RLPO Beethoven Edition biting and kicking into the 21st – and to capture the heart‐stopping thrills of Leonore No.3, an overture so dramatic that it had to be dropped from its own opera! Prokofiev’s dreamy Violin Concerto No.1 provides some relief from all the action, with the superb James Ehnes as soloist.

'Mendelssohn’s violin concerto brought the other treat of the night — soloist James Ehnes. The Canadian delivered a lustrous, lyrical performance, eking the sweetest of tones.' Catherine Jones, Liverpool Echo, 2010
