Program
Sibelius Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2
featuring Douglas Heist
The music of Sibelius defies simple generalizations. It is music of broad, sonorous Romantic gestures, but often is concentrated and taut. Compare these two symphonies of the composer who became a Finnish national hero.
Exploring Beethoven
featuring Ernest Liott
Beethoven stands as the most revolutionary composer in music. Trace the development of his musical style, from its roots in the Viennese Classical tradition through the monumental late works. Explore symphonies, sonatas and other compositions.
Mozart Symphonies
featuring Janice Macaulay
Mozart may have been the greatest musical genius of all time. Study his symphonies in their musical and cultural context, the role of the symphony in his creative life, and his contribution to the genre as it evolved during his lifetime.
