Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony has gained immortality as much through the power and grandeur of the music as through the tale of the rescinded dedication to Napoleon Bonaparte. It remains today one of Beethoven’s most popular symphonies.
On January 22, Lan Shui will conduct this work with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra at the Esplanade Concert Hall.
In the first half of the programme: virtuosic Argentinian pianist Nelson Goerner takes on Schumann’s Piano Concerto, which began life as a self-contained “Phantasie” for piano and orchestra that would later become the Concerto’s first movement.
He won the first prize in the 1986 Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Buenos Aires, and in the 1990 Geneva Competition. -- www.sso.org.sg
