Stephen Hough performs Beethoven
German Genius
Three geniuses of the Germanic repertoire are celebrated in this program. Stephen Hough is our guide on this journey of emotions. Mozart's final symphony is undoubtedly one of his greatest and optimistic from start to finish.
Mendelssohn’s voyage isn’t all calm, with creeping notes of drama before, at last, the breeze picks up and we continue our beautiful voyage – straight onto Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto.
While stormy to begin with, by the end the clouds have scattered and we’re left enjoying the sunshine.
