Beethoven Emperor Concerto
Sir Andrew Davis,
conductor
Pageantry and majestic visions fill this powerful programme. Richard Strauss's epic tone poem Also sprach Zarathustra, famed as the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey, explores the joys and mysteries of life through a feast of luxurious, spectacular sound. Award-winning pianist André Laplante takes centre stage in Beethoven's mighty "Emperor" Concerto, performing it with all the authority it demands.
