Beethoven Emperor
Beethoven Emperor
Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major, Op. 73, ‘Emperor’
Beethoven Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, ‘Pastoral’
Jaeden Izik-Dzurko piano
Peter Tiboris conductor
Peter Tiboris leads the orchestra in this celebration of two very different sides to Ludwig van Beethoven. First, with soloist Jaeden Izik-Dzurko in the hot seat, the composer’s mammoth Emperor concerto - a work of heroism and virtuosity in which a soloist bring order to a world of sound and fury, sweeping the orchestra along with it. Next, perhaps the composer’s most personal symphonic work. Beethoven returned to nature in the Pastoral Symphony, his glimpse of the cheerful feelings of childhood and a thanksgiving for the wonders of the Earth.
