Beethoven, Boulez

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms 2012, Prom 13
Episode 1 of 2

Daniel Barenboim conducts the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No 8 in F and Pierre Boulez's Anthemes 2.

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Tom Service

The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, under the baton of Daniel Barenboim continues its Beethoven cycle with two dramatic symphonies: the compact Eighth and the Seventh, famously dubbed 'the apotheosis of dance'. It was the last piece conducted by Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood. This ebullient symphonic music is contrasted with Pierre Boulez's beautifully serene Anthèmes 2, scored for violin and live electronics.
