 From the
pen of Maestro Amado:
"Richard
Wagner, moved by the buoyancy and physicality of Beethoven’s Seventh
Symphony, called it the ‘apotheosis of the dance’. It is filled with
crackling energy, relentless drive and merciless exuberance---qualities
that fill much of Beethoven’s output. Here, all that energy is focused
into a joyous, sometimes ecstatic work that has been a favorite of
audiences since its premier. Joining the Beethoven are Wagner’s
Siegfried Idyll—his serene, intimate gift on the birth of his son to
his wife Cosima, and the Frenchman Ibert’s witty and sparking Flute
Concerto played by our brilliant principal flutist, Kimberly Reighley." |
