Beethoven Unleashed: Prometheus and Eroica
The 大象传媒 Philharmonic, conducted by Ben Gernon, perform Beethoven's Symphony No 3 in E flat, 'Eroica', and his rarely heard Opferlied.
The 大象传媒 Philharmonic with Principal Guest Conductor, Ben Gernon, are joined by mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston and Manchester Chamber Choir to explore some rarely heard music by Beethoven, his beautiful and atmospheric 'Opferlied'. The Overture to his allegorical ballet 'The Creatures of Prometheus' opens the programme and leads into a specially devised selection of other music from the ballet. Beethoven's Third Symphony the 'Eroica' ends the programme.
Live from the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.
Presented by Tom Redmond.
