Beethoven the Emperor
Symphonic concert conducted by Adrien Perruchon
This great Beethovenian journey begins with his most emblematic concerto under the fingers of Arielle Beck, a rising star of the French piano, named Instrumental Soloist Revelation at the 2026 Victoires de la Musique Classique.
Before composing his final symphony, Beethoven returns to the roots of classicism with his sparkling Eighth, whose finale, rich in breaks and dissonances, is a model of musical humor.
