The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra returns to G Live with a programme of masterworks by Dvořák, Mendelssohn and Beethoven.
‘I am the new Bacchus, pressing out glorious wine for the human spirit’: Ludwig van Beethoven never pulled his punches, but until you’ve heard his Seventh Symphony in full flight, you’ve never known just how intoxicating music can be. That’s just the climax to a whole concert that highlights some of these composers’ most well-known works.
Before that, British virtuoso violinist Jack Liebeck brings his ‘flawless technical mastery’ and a ‘beguiling silvery tone’ to Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. One of the foremost violin pieces of the Romantic era, it took Mendelssohn over six years to complete and was the last concerto he composed before his untimely death at the age of 38.
Kevin John Edusei launches the evening with Dvořák’s joyous Carnival Overture, the third a final work in his Nature, Life and Love trilogy; a celebration of the composer’s love for his native land and its majestic landscape.
