BBC Philharmonic Orchestra

‘Oh you millions, I embrace you – here’s a kiss for all the world!’ Every performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is a special event: from dark opening to the final blazing Hymn to Joy it’s one of the greatest emotional journeys in all music. There’s no more uplifting way to launch the BBC Philharmonic’s season which features many of the Beethoven’s greatest works. The programme begins with the headlong energy and rapier wit of Beethoven’s brilliant Fourth.
