Heroic grandeur and pianistic brilliance take centre stage in this monumental Beethoven programme conducted by Wolfram Christ. The darkly dramatic Coriolan Overture opens the evening with fierce intensity before pianist Nikola Meeuwsen performs the majestic ‘Emperor’ Concerto — a work of symphonic scale, noble lyricism, and dazzling virtuosity that stands among Beethoven’s greatest achievements.
