Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
Who’s on stage
Dynamic conductor Delyana Lazarova and extraordinary cellist Samuel Niederhauser join Royal Northern Sinfonia.
What they’re playing
Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto is tense and attention-grabbing from the start, it draws you right in, lets you relax a little, and then ratchets things up in a nail-biting ending. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is an epic musical journey that begins with those iconic four da-da-da-daaaa notes. Carlos Simon’s piece, full of shimmering melodies, is inspired by Beethoven’s music and starts the evening with high drama.
