Beethoven and His Contemporaries: Concert IV

At the 2020 Schwetzingen Festival, the acclaimed Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin performed a series of concert programmes that were equally enjoyable and meaningfully compiled. Beethoven’s symphonies are combined with works from some of his contemporary composers who influenced and even inspired Beethoven. Following the practice of authentic performance, the orchestra plays without conductor, led by its concertmaster Bernhard Forck, who is a renowned expert for period instrument performance.
