Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

The OAE is much more than one of the world's pre-eminent period instrument ensembles. It works regularly with conductors who specialise in both early music and the modern repertoire, and has explored the work of composers from Bach to Mahler, Handel to Borodin. The OAE's Beethoven Symphonies Series gets off to an electrifying start with the under-appreciated Symphony No.4. It's hard to understand why - it is one of the most dramatic of all the symphonies, with passages of graceful lyricism contrasted with high octane music-making. The Seventh Symphony is undoubtedly a reflection of the time it was written, during the Napoleonic wars. It's one of the most popular of all Beethoven symphonies - and was indeed one of the composers greatest financial successes! Queen Elizabeth Hall
