Beethoven and His Contemporaries, Concert II

These four concerts from the 2020 SWR Schwetzingen Festival capture vital performances of the award-winning Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and reveal foundations of Beethoven's genius. The Concert II sees Beethoven's third symphony set against Mozart's pre-echo of a theme from the 'Eroica' Symphony, and Paul Wranitzky's richly narrative Grande Sinfonie caractéristique.
