Cardiff Week (1/4)

Mark Wigglesworth conducts the Welsh National Opera Orchestra in Beethoven's First and Second Symphonies, live from Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff.

Nicola Heywood Thomas presents the second performance in a week of lunchtime and evening concerts from Cardiff. This evening we have the Welsh National Opera Orchestra performing live from 大象传媒 Hoddinott Hall. They will be treating us to Beethoven's first two symphonies鈥攖he beginning of his journey to explode the format forever. In these two works from the turn of the 19th century, Beethoven is starting to shake off the yoke of Haydn and explore the possibilities of the symphonic form. Nonetheless, the drama and excitement is unmistakably Beethovian.
