Beethoven: Symphonies 1, 2 & 3 - Barry: Beethoven & Piano Concerto
Beethoven’s first three symphonies have two unlikely bedfellows on this Signum Classics album: pieces by the maverick Irish composer Gerald Barry. Thomas Adès conducts the Britten Sinfonia in all the works, and Nicolas Hodges plays the solo part in Barry’s Piano Concerto. Barry’s piece Beethoven is a setting of the German composer’s letter to his “Immortal Beloved”.
