West Australian Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven and Brahms – Morning
Perth Concert Hall 5 St Georges Terrace, Perth, WA
Brahms’ stirring variations effortlessly and joyfully blends together the clarity and purity of Haydn’s Classical style with his own richly-textured orchestral sound. Short it may be, but Beethoven packs an astonishing amount of invention, technique and sheer imagination into his “Haydnesque” Eighth Symphony, which endlessly delights and surprises.
