Listen on
Episode notes
What is so special about Beethoven? YolanDa Brown gets an inside view of what it’s like to play and conduct Beethoven’s third symphony from the perspective of conductor Karina Canellakis and horn player Annemarie Federle.
Karina explains why Beethoven’s music is ‘a universal form of musical communication’ and together with Annemarie they consider how much you should take a composer’s life into account when you play their music. Karina also take us on a journey through the symphony, together with musical excerpts recorded from a concert she gave with the LPO in autumn 2022. And you can also watch that performance here: https://lpo.org.uk/event/marquee-tv-canellakis/
Plus, if Karina could play an instrument in the symphony, what would it be? The pressure is on for Annemarie…
