Beethoven and His Contemporaries, Concert III

These four concerts from the 2020 SWR Schwetzingen Festival capture vital performances of the award-winning Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, one of the world's leading chamber orchestras on period instruments, and reveal foundations of Beethoven's genius. Robert Schumann pointed out similarities between Mehul's First Symphony and Beethoven's Fifth, and the Concert III includes them both.
