Beethoven - Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21
Beethoven - Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125
With Voices NZ Choir
Music Director Edo de Waart’s final Masterworks concerts for 2018 highlight two milestones in not only Beethoven’s career, but the symphonic repertoire. Take this opportunity to bear witness to the composer’s journey from Classical to Romantic and in the process changing the course of music and composing forever.
The First Symphony is from a young Beethoven, already making his name in Vienna as a pianist and composer. While it owes a debt to Haydn, it also shows a composer hungry to explore and experiment.
His gargantuan Symphony No. 9, written when he had become completely deaf, is one of his most popular and impressive works. With four fantastic soloists—soprano Madeleine Pierard, mezzo-soprano Kristin Darragh, tenor Simon O’Neill and bass Anthony Robin Schneider—and premiere choir Voices New Zealand for the fourth movement’s ‘Ode to Joy’, this is an event no one should miss.
