BBC Philharmonic: Beethoven – Symphony No.3

This event has passed

Beethoven The Creatures of Prometheus – overture and incidental music (selection) (32’)
Beethoven Opferlied (7’)
Beethoven Symphony No.3, ‘Eroica’ (45’)

The first of five BBC Philharmonic concerts celebrating 250 years since Beethoven’s birth spotlights the indelible, incredible ‘Eroica’, regularly voted the greatest symphony of all time. It’s joined by two rarities: Opferlied, a casually brilliant piece of choral writing, and extracts from The Creatures of Prometheus, Beethoven’s only full-length ballet.
