Friday Night at the Proms: Beethoven's Eroica Symphony

2014

BBC Radio 3 - BBC Proms, 2014, Friday Night at the Proms: Beethoven's Eroica Symphony

Includes Berlioz's overture Le corsaire and Elgar's song-cycle Sea Pictures.

Beethoven's Eroica Symphony is preceded by Berlioz's overture Le corsaire and Elgar's Sea Pictures, an orchestral song-cycle exploring the fascination and fear inspired by the sea.

The work that changed the course of music forever, Beethoven's epic Eroica Symphony is the culmination of this concert from Sir Mark Elder and the Hallé. Berlioz's swashbuckling overture Le corsaire, depicting the adventures of pirates on the ocean wave, opens the concert with a splash. Elder is famed for his Elgar and he is joined by British mezzo-soprano Alice Coote for the Sea Pictures, Elgar's orchestral song-cycle exploring the fascination and fear inspired by the sea. Presented by Suzy Klein and Rodney Earl Clarke.
