麻豆约拍

Beethoven Unleashed: As part of a special week of broadcasts, Kate Molleson dips into the archive of the 麻豆约拍 Scottish Symphony Orchestra to explore recent performances of Beethoven symphonies. And she talks to its chief conductor Thomas Dausgaard about his conception of 'Composer Roots', and how Beethoven's music emerged amidst the influence of his predecessors and contemporaries. In this evening's programme Symphonies 6 and 8 are discussed in terms of the influences from the newly invented metronome, to the bird-song and folk dances of the fields and woods around Vienna.
