What's happening in the music?
“Pastoral: Genre relating to shepherds and the countryside.” Well, that makes sense. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 transports listeners to the great outdoors. From the comfort of your Sage One seat you’ll experience the sounds of the cuckoo, rustic folk dance (participation totally optional) and a violent storm. All while remaining warm and dry. His Violin Concerto is just sheer beauty from start to finish. As blogger Fugue for Thought puts it, “It’s just… perfection”.
