Their second concert opens with Beethovenâs Egmont Overture, an exhilarating narrative of heroism, harmoniously succeeded by the intimate and angelic Piano Concerto No. 4. After the interval, Symphony No. 6 (Pastoral) evokes images of strolling in the countryside through its buoyant melody and birdcalls depicted by woodwind instruments. The work is one of the first real examples of what became known as âprogramme musicâ: music that tells a specific story.
