Eroica
Programme:
Vaughan Williams - Overture: The Wasps
Elgar - Cello Concerto
Beethoven - Symphony No.3, 'Eroica'
The overture Vaughan Williams composed for a production of The Wasps by Aristophanes is both suitably waspish and richly lyrical. Andrei Ionita then joins Cristian Macelaru and the Halle for Elgar’s Cello Concerto, one of the greatest works ever written for the instrument.
The piece is full of gossamer-light orchestral writing, delicate cello virtuosity and unforgettable melodies. Throughout musical history only a few works have truly changed its course, among them Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ Symphony. A token of the composer’s heroism as he confronted his increasing deafness, it is a remarkable experience that ends in triumph.
