Episode 1 of 4

With Penny Gore. Beethoven: Piano Concertos Nos 2 and 1; Fantasia in C minor. Schoenberg: Friede auf Erden. Stenhammar: Symphony No 2.

Penny Gore this week explores the complete concertos of Beethoven in recent performances recorded in Europe and the USA. Today there are two piano concertos, starting with the first he wrote, even though it was the second to be published. Also today, the veteran conductor Herbert Blomstedt conducts a rare performance of a symphony by the Swede, Wilhelm Stenhammar; his distinctly Nordic Second Symphony.
