Beethoven Three
Beethoven Three
Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467, ‘Elvira Madigan’
Beethoven Symphony No. 3 in E flat, Op. 55, ‘Eroica’ (Please note this change in programme)
Marios Papadopoulos piano/conductor
Of all of Beethoven’s symphonies, the Third always remained dear to him, and was perhaps even his favourite. A turning point in nineteenth-century music and a breakthrough towards the Romantic era, the revolutionary ‘Eroica’ symphony is high in emotions, capturing hope, grief and freedom, with an enduring heroism throughout. Marios Papadopoulos conducts it here, as well as directing from the keyboard one of Mozart’s most exuberant piano concertos.
