What awaits me?
What is special about the concert?
The Chamber Orchestra of Europe set the benchmark for Beethoven interpretation with its complete recordings under the legendary Nikolaus Harnoncourt in 1990. It will be exciting to hear how things have developed since then!

Description
There is surely no orchestra as closely associated with Beethoven’s symphonies as the Chamber Orchestra of Europe since it released a revolutionary complete recording under Nikolaus Harnoncourt twenty years ago. They now perform the eruptively joyful Seventh Symphony under the British conductor Robin Ticciati. The global violin star Christian Tetzlaff plays Robert Schumann’s dramatic Violin Concerto, which was written just a year before the composer was committed to the psychiatric hospital in Bonn-Endenich.
