François-Xavier Roth on combining Beethoven with Modernism

Composers being playful: early Beethoven’s wit and jokes pair with a cat-and-mouse chase around the orchestra from Ondřej Adámek. Beethoven’s First and Fourth Symphonies are witty and elegant. Yet there are moments which foretell the bold, stormy symphonies that would follow, such as the opening for the First’s finale, and the assertive horn blasts in the Fourth’s Scherzo.

Ondřej Adámek’s invitation to Follow Me results in a teasing, increasingly wild imitation game between soloist and orchestra.
