One of the key moments in the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Beethoven is this programme conducted by Karel Mark Chichon, which features two of his emblematic compositions, the Piano Concerto No. 5 “Emperor” and Symphony No. 5, major works from the middle or heroic period of the famous composer. The Fifth Symphony is not only one of the most famous works in the entire repertoire and a true reference within Beethoven’s catalogue, but also the perfect embodiment, like almost no other of his compositions, of the paradigm of the creative impulse in its most purely heroic sense, that which Beethoven himself described as the struggle and triumph over destiny. Recognised as one of the outstanding works in the concerto repertoire, the Piano Concerto No. 5 “Emperor” is a piece of unsurpassed breadth and pianistic bravura, and will feature the great Rudolf Buchbinder as soloist.
