Beethoven's Symphony No 9 'Choral' from Germany
Mark Forrest introduces an afternoon of great music including performances from the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and chamber music from across Bavaria.
Mark Forrest presents an afternoon of exceptional music-making from Germany, bringing together the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra with chamber music and song from the Feldafing and Goldmund Festivals in Bavaria.
The programme opens with a Haydn symphony performed by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under Manfred Honeck. Sir Simon Rattle conducts the orchestra in Poulenc鈥檚 witty ballet suite Les Biches before returning with world class soloists to perform one of the most extraordinary works in the history of music, Beethoven Ninth Symphony, 'Choral', with which the orchestra opened its current season.
From the the Goldmund Festival, tenor Julian Pr茅gardien and pianist Anna Gebhardt perform Schumann鈥檚 much-loved song cycle Dichterliebe - 'A Poet's Love'. And pianist Richard Goode brings his distinctive insight and musicianship to Beethoven鈥檚 final piano sonata.
