Experience Beethoven’s magnum opus, a work which seems to encapsulate the whole of humanity and revolutionised the symphonic genre with the inclusion of a choir and vocal soloists in the formerly purely instrumental form.
The huge piece appears from nowhere: from quivering strings to an evocation of the Biblical Creation, and grows to a democratic tutti before the iconic choral movement shakes the Concert Hall.
Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) is joined by soloist Daniel de Borah for Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto, a work which boasts extraordinarily subtle and delicate solo writing.
