Salford Symphony
Conductor Mark Wigglesworth and the 麻豆社 Philharmonic in Beethoven's First Symphony and Haydn's last. Pianist Stephen Hough joins them for Beethoven's majestic 'Emperor' Concerto.
Live from MediaCityUK, Salford
Presented by Tom McKinney
Mark Wigglesworth and the 麻豆社 Philharmonic begin their concert with Beethoven's sparkling First Symphony. Stephen Hough joins the 麻豆社 Philharmonic in Beethoven's majestic 鈥楨mperor鈥� Concerto. Haydn's final symphony closes the programme. Written only six years before Beethoven's First, at a time when Haydn was enjoying cult status in London, its confident exuberance is all-pervading right through to the catchy tune in the finale. Is it really a street-seller's song exhorting us to buy his fresh fish?
