Beethoven's Eroica Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

Fri 14 Mar 2008 7:30pm at Symphony Hall

Christened by The Times as the “Volcano from Vladikavkaz” Tugan Sokhiev is the latest in a long tradition of dynamic young Russian conductors. Two of Beethoven’s most powerful works make up his programme, the ground-breaking Eroica Symphony and smoulderingly tragic Coriolan Overture. Sarah Chang, one of the most sought after young violinists, is the soloist in the majestic sweep of Brahms’s Violin Concerto.

Classic FM’s Anne-Marie Minhall says of tonight’s recommended concert:

“Sarah Chang performing live is an event not to be missed. She’s a dynamic violinist who always delivers. Beethoven tops and tails the concert and the epic Eroica was in fact the composer’s own favourite symphony of the nine he produced.”
