Date & Time

Wed, Jan 8, 2025, 20:00

Venue

Ludwig van Beethoven, revered as a titan of Viennese Classicism, began his career as a piano virtuoso. His encroaching deafness led him to focus on composing, paving the way for Romanticism and composers like Chopin. Pianist Sophia Pacini suggests the two composers may be closer than commonly thought.

Fantastische Sinfonie

Wed, Apr 2, 2025, 19:00

Alte Oper (Frankfurt am Main)

Edward Gardner (Conductor)

Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique" depicts a man's descent into madness due to unrequited love. The symphony features grotesque dreams, death knells, a guillotine, and a witches' sabbath. Berlioz called this masterpiece "Episode in the Life of an Artist," a truly bizarre trip with visions of waltzes, murder, execution, and ultimately, a wild, orgiastic climax. This dark, chilling Romantic symphony, full of extreme sound effects, truly deserves its name.
