Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique Plays Beethoven Wednesday, November 16, 2011
On Wednesday night, John Eliot Gardiner conducted the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique in three works by Beethoven: the Fifth and Seventh Symphonies and the Egmont Overture. If you missed this sold-out concert and broadcast, you can listen to it above.
It was a generation ago that this period-instrument orchestra from London first took up Beethoven, seeking to re-establish the lost performance practices of the composer's time. Their lean and mean sound shocked some of the classical establishment as they went head to head with the great symphony orchestras. Yet today their approach been gradually integrated into the mainstream and many modern orchestras practice a more historically minded approach.
This concert is a chance to hear the ORR as they bring out the unique drama in three Beethoven classics.
