The Classics

No sooner had Beethoven’s violin concerto been heard for the first time in December 1806 than the composer set about complet­ing his fifth symphony, which was premiered two years later. The two works stand for a period of creativity in which Beethoven developed a symphonic tonal language all of his own. They will be played by one of German’s longest-established orchestras, the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden, which can look back on a history lasting 460 years. Together with their chief conductor they last year won the ECHO Klassik award as orchestra of the year, while the Staatskapelle also won the ECHO Klassik for the opera performance of the year and the Historische Edition special prize.
