Live from the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

The OAE showcases works from the classical period that are heading towards the Romantic era. Opening with a symphony by the arch-classicist Haydn which began life as incidental music to a play, the concert moves on to the music of Weber and Schubert, which occupies an interesting turning point in music history.

Weber's Concertino is a great virtuoso showcase for the horn, making huge demands on the player, at one point even requiring the soloist to play two notes at once by humming while playing! His 2nd symphony follows a very classical path.

Schubert's Symphony 5, written when the composer was just 19, is a real product and expression of his youth, while still containing some incredibly affecting and moving music.
