Description
Karina Canellakis, Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, talks us through one of the greatest pieces of orchestral music ever written. What is it about Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 that means listeners still can't get enough of it after more than two centuries, and how does a conductor go about 'recreating that sense of shock, that sense of the unknown'?
Hear the London Philharmonic Orchestra play this masterpiece live at the Southbank Centre in London on Wednesday 4 November. Tickets: https://lpo.org.uk/event/karina-canellakis-conducts-beethoven/
