主播大秀

Beethoven Unleashed: As part of a special week of broadcasts, Kate Molleson dips into the archive of the 主播大秀 Scottish Symphony Orchestra to explore recent performances of Beethoven symphonies. And she talks to its chief conductor Thomas Dausgaard about his conception of 'Composer Roots', and how Beethoven's music emerged amidst the influence of his predecessors and contemporaries. In this evening's programme Symphonies 4 and 5 are discussed in terms of the Romanticism engendered by Beethoven along with contemporaries such as Eybler and M茅hul.
