Three times Beethoven in one concert programme, it seems too much of a good thing. That is why our chief conductor Seikyo Kim and rising piano star Keisuke Toyama gladly accepted this challenge. After all, they know how to vary on all fronts – dynamics, articulation, tempi – and bring forward all of Beethoven's wonderful aspects.
Beethoven, the unrivalled master of instrumental arts, wrote his ballet Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus for the Viennese court theatre. The success of the ballet was not overwhelming, but the overture remained a famous striking orchestral piece. The resounding range of colours, combined with fierce and responsive rhythms characterise the Fifth Piano Concerto. This concerto, better known as 'the Emperor Concerto' exudes an optimistic and heroic spirit. The Japanese Keisuke Toyama, still in his twenties, will be able to unleash his virtuosity!
The strong opening theme of 'The Fifth of Beethoven' develops into a swirling symphony containing more than those eight opening notes. You will hear all of them today. It's up to you to judge if the promises of the opening motto redeem the rest of the symphony.
