Daniele Gatti conductor

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21
Symphony No. 4 in B flat maojor, Op. 60
Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67

The first concert in Daniele Gatti’s Beethoven Cycle, this programme traces the early key stages of the composer’s development, from his beginnings rooted in Classicism to the emergence of an innovative musical language.
With Symphony No. 1, Beethoven remains firmly within the tradition of Haydn and Mozart, whilst already offering a glimpse of his daring temperament.
More free-spirited and luminous, Symphony No. 4 displays a singular inventiveness and elegance. This evolution reaches its peak with Symphony No. 5, which embodies the struggle against adversity and the triumphant affirmation of the human will.
A unique opportunity to immerse oneself in all the boldness, creativity, and power of a composer whose genius has given us one of the most iconic motifs in the entire history of music.
