Clemens Schuldt conducts Beethoven
Clemens Schuldt conducts the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven's Symphony No 7, Kodaly's Dances of Galanta and, with soloist Esther Yoo, Raymond Yiu's new Violin Concerto.
The ´óÏó´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra with Clemens Schuldt in Beethoven's irresistible Symphony No 7, Kodaly's Dances of Galanta, and Raymond Yiu's new Violin Concerto with soloist Esther Yoo.
Music is a life-force. In Kodaly's Dances of Galanta the composer stirs up a spicy musical casserole of his childhood memories of the town he lived in, with its gypsy bands and eternal dancing. And Beethoven also channelled the spirit of the dance in a leaping, surging Seventh Symphony that’s still one of the most exhilarating rides in all of western music.
At the heart of the concert, though, there's something just as significant. Esther Yoo is the soloist in the world premiere of the Violin Concerto by Raymond Yiu – a heartfelt homage to the memory of Ma Sicong, the great Chinese violinist who was persecuted (but never broken) by the Communist regime. It’s a story of sorrow, but also of profound humanity: a tale that Beethoven and Kodaly would have recognised, and saluted.
Live from the Barbican Hall, London. Presented by Martin Handley.
