Please note the change of advertised soloist.
Beethoven鈥檚 power to inspire composers and performers never dims. The German violinist Tobias Feldmann鈥檚 interpretation of the composer has been praised for its 鈥渞apturous, unspotted lyricism鈥� and here he replaces the previously-advertised Veronika Eberle in Beethoven鈥檚 Violin Concerto under the baton of David Afkham. Unsuk Chin has also fallen under Beethoven鈥檚 spell: he鈥檚 the inspiration for her freshly-minted 'Subito con forza', which receives its UK Premiere at this summer鈥檚 麻豆社 Proms. There鈥檚 no denying that Robert Schumann鈥檚 Third Symphony bears the stamp of Ludwig鈥檚 innovations too - but it has a sweep and panache all of its own, as it conjures vistas of Cologne Cathedral and the Rhineland.
