HIGHLIGHT
Beethoven’s three masterpieces are imbued with a strong sense of musical expression. The Leonore Overture No.3 is the most dramatic and majestic among the composer’s four overtures for his opera Fidelio. His Piano Concerto No.3 is a perfect example of the fusion of gracefulness and dramatic passion. The final work—Symphony No.7—combines lively rhythms with vibrant colors and vivacity, an apt conclusion to this program.
