Carter, Beethoven

Episode 2 of 2

Emmanuel Pahud (flute), 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales conducted by Thierry Fischer. Elliott Carter: Flute Concerto (UK premiere). Beethoven: Symphony No 7.

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Suzy Klein

Renowned flautist Emmanuel Pahud joins the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Thierry Fischer for two major new concertos. Framing them are two of Beethoven's most inventive and joyous symphonies.

Carter's Flute Concerto is a dazzling creation. Written in 2008 at the age of 99, it contrasts the flute's lyrical qualities with a percussive orchestral texture. Dalbavie set out to write a homage to Debussy, and whilst his concerto is certainly rooted in the great French tradition, it's also full of fireworks and exploding excitement.
