Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major op. 55 «Eroica»

Napoleon has just caused another sensation on the cinema screen, but long ago Ludwig van Beethoven already found himself first fascinated then repelled by him. Beethoven’s «Eroica», «Heroic Symphony», boldly burst through the dimensions of the genre. The work refers to the myth of Prometheus, who brought humankind the gift of fire – an element as ambivalent as Napoleon. So, there are blazing passions in this opening to the season under Yutaka Sado, including in Alexander Arutiunian’s Trumpet Concerto with the brilliant Tonkunstler Orchestra solo trumpet Patrick Hofer, and in a new work composed for a commission from patrons including the Tonkunstler Orchestra by Georg Friedrich Haas*, whose unique, scintillating music causes a furore worldwide.

*Work commissioned by the Staatskapelle Dresden, Milano Musica – Associazione per la musica contemporanea and the Tonkunstler Orchestra
