Beethoven’s Symphony No.2 from Rotterdam

Lahav Shani conducts the Rotterdam Philharmonic in Beethoven, there's a Beethoven sonata with pianist Imogen Cooper plus highlights from the RNCM International Brass Band Festival.

Today, conductor Lahav Shani leads the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra in Beethoven’s energetic Symphony No.2 and Prokofiev’s dreamily poetic Violin Concerto No.1 with soloist Clara-Jumi Kang. There’s also more Beethoven chamber music in the shape of his late Piano Sonata , Op. 110, from Dame Imogen Cooper; and from last month’s RNCM International Brass Band Festival in Manchester, Foden’s Band plays Britten’s evocative Courtly Dances from his opera “Gloriana”.
