Programme Note
The iconic Maria João Pires returns to the LCO for one of her favourite concertos: Beethoven’s Fourth.
Not only a great pianist but also an ardent nurturer of young talent, Pires has recently launched the Partitura Project, bringing together artists of different generations. As part of the projects inaugural season, the Armenian Ashot Khachatourian plays one of Mozarts most insouciant works, the Concert Rondo, K.386.
Beethoven knew his Seventh Symphony was special even by his standards! So did Wagner when he described its irrepressible last movement as the ‘apotheosis of the dance’.
