Concert information
Laura Samuel, leader of the BBC SSO, directs the strings in a short suite from the prolific German Baroque composer Telemann, before three of the orchestra’s principal players join her for a performance of Haydn’s delightful Sinfonia Concertante, composed in 1792. Beethoven’s First Symphony, premiered in 1800 shows the influence of Haydn and Mozart but also has some of the characteristics of a new compositional style; it makes for a perfect end to an afternoon’s entertainment.
To be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
