Maestro 2: Beethoven: Symphonies 1 & 3 featuring orchestra member Isaac Davis
Two beloved works in one energetic and mesmerising performance
Umberto Clerici leads Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) in his anniversary cycle of Beethoven symphonies, starting at the beginning with Beethoven’s first foray into symphonic composition. Written in an elegantly high Classical style that showcases Beethoven’s skill as an orchestrator, the First Symphony already hints at the groundbreaking musical personality he would cultivate throughout his life.
By the time he turned his attention to the Eroica, he was a mature composer in full Romantic flow. The thunderous hammer blows of its opening foreshadow a revolutionary piece which throws out the rule book and bursts with energetic optimism.
The program opens with Unsuk Chin’s Subito con forza (Suddenly with power), named for a favourite performance direction of Beethoven’s. Written for the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, the great master’s sparkling volatility is echoed in this tribute.
