Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No 4 (34 mins)
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.
Composer and conductor Thomas Adès and the brilliant violinist Isabelle Faust – both long-standing collaborators of the LSO’s – join the Orchestra on stage for this compelling programme.
