Beethoven: Symphonies 4 & 7 featuring orchestra member Viv Collier Vickers
Having the misfortune to fall between the revolutionary Third and Fifth Symphonies, the bright and joyful Fourth is often overlooked. Dubbed by Schumann “a slender Greek maiden between two Norse giants”, it contains some of Beethoven’s most beautiful and lyrical melodies.
If the hallmark of the Fourth is melody, the Seventh’s is rhythm. Inspired by dance, Wagner once called it “the apotheosis of the dance”. The noble first movement and ceremonial Allegretto give way to an exhilarating and festive whirlwind in the second half of the piece. In Con brio, Jörg Widmann sets out to recreate this same fury and rhythmic insistence in a piece “run through with Beethovenian riffs, flourishes and humor”.
