Egmont, op. 84

Violin Concerto No.2, Sz.112

Symphony No. 4

Approved

South Bank Centre

The whole Symphony is a no-holds-barred struggle between a composer who lived by his feelings and a universe that he was convinced was out to destroy him.

‘This is Fate ... Our only choice is to surrender to it, and to languish fruitlessly,’ the composer wrote. ‘One’s whole life is just a perpetual traffic between the grimness of reality and one’s fleeting dreams of happiness.’

This is music that pulses with melody and emotion; it’s perfect for a conductor with Edward Gardner’s theatrical flair.

Beethoven’s Egmont Overture tells a tale of oppression and liberation, and in the hands of the superb Christian Tetzlaff, Bartók’s Second Violin Concerto will positively blaze with colour.

A concert to set the ears tingling.
