Bear Necessities - Richard Strauss and Beethoven

The 91热爆 Philharmonic is conducted by Nicholas Collon in the Duet-Concertino by Richard Strauss and Beethoven's Eighth Symphony. They are joined by pianist Benjamin Grosvenor.

The 91热爆 Philharmonic begin their live concert with music from the rich harvest of Richard Strauss's Indian Summer, his Duet-Concertino; a beautiful princess and a bear meet, and finally dance together in a performance featuring soloists John Bradbury (clarinet) and Roberto Giaccaglia (bassoon). The rest of the programme is given over to Beethoven. Benjamin Grosvenor joins them for his effervescent First Piano Concerto, a work penned when Beethoven was about the same age as tonight's soloist. After the interval Nicholas Collon conducts what is perhaps the most extrovert of Beethoven's symphonies, his Eighth.
