Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms 2024: the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment with Antonello Manacorda conducting in symphonies by Mozart, Louise Farrenc and Beethoven - his 'Eroica'.
Presented by Ian Skelly, from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Louise Farrenc: Symphony No. 3 in G minor
Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, 'Eroica'
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
Conductor Antonello Manacorda
Longer, louder and more arresting than any music that had gone before it, Beethoven’s 'Eroica' Symphony left audiences dumbfounded at its first performance in 1805. Over two centuries later, its ideals of liberty, endurance and fortitude remain undimmed. Played on the period instruments of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Beethoven’s pivotal symphony will appear fresh-minted under Antonello Manacorda. He begins with a perky little number by the 8-year-old Mozart and continues with the intensity, power and momentum of the Symphony No. 3 by 19th-century France’s compositional trailblazer, Louise Farrenc.
