- Description
- Simon Russell Beale continues his journey into the world of the Symphony with the story of the revolutionary later symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven and their phenomenal impact over the last two centuries. We also meet Franz Schubert, whose two greatest symphonies were only discovered after his tragic early death, the obsessive French romantic Hector Berlioz and the flamboyant pianist turned composer Franz Liszt. The music is conducted by Sir Mark Elder and specially performed by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Halle.
