Why see Los Angeles Philharmonic: Beethoven Cycle Finale: Dudamel & Andsnes?
Beethoven's finest
Closing their Beethoven cycle with a climatic performance of his last symphony, Emperor, with shades of Choral Fantasy and John Adams' Harmonium, the LA Phil are led by Gustav Dudamel, the world's most passionate conductor. In his fifth year as musical director, Dudamel's reputation continues to exceed expectations as he channels incredible talent and enthusiasm into world famous pieces.
On the piano is Leif Ove Andsnes, named by the Wall Street Journal as : "one of the most gifted musicians of his generation." In a season that has seen him focus exclusively on Beethoven, we know that this final moment will be entirely unforgetable.
