Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 «Heroica»

Beethoven's «Heroica» marked a historic turning point by elevating the symphony to an epic drama of grand scale that enacts heroic endeavours of struggle, crisis and triumphant overcoming. He added to the score the affirmation of ideals, substantiating narrative conceptions within it. In short, he transformed the way of listening to and understanding music. Completed two years later, in 1806, the Violin Concerto did not have the same immediate reach. Several decades had to pass, but it became a cornerstone of the violin repertoire. Leading the Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa will be two great violinists: Enrico Onofri, this time in the capacity of maestro, in which he also excels, and Sergej Krylov, who lends his refined virtuosity to the solo part.
