Chamber Concert with a Host
For Ludwig van Beethoven, the harmony of sounds was an expression of the harmony of nature. In Boldevitz, Beethoven specialist Jan Caeyers delves deeply into the composer’s relationship with nature and its existential significance for humanity. Kit Armstrong brings it to life with excerpts from Liszt’s “Pastoral” arrangement for piano, before the Quatuor Hermès lets Beethoven’s late String Quartet, Op. 132, with its famous “Sacred Song of Thanksgiving by a Recovering Man to the Deity,” speak for itself.
