In the early 1800’s the world is reeling from the leaps and bounds of the industrial revolution and Napoleon has just crowned himself emperor. Europe was in a state of flux, with wars raging across the continent.
Ludwig van Beethoven was in the middle of composing some of his most popular works and those works provide the score to wartime.
The Australian Chamber Orchestra is celebrating Beethoven's work in their latest program.
Guest: Kristian Bezuidenhout, ACO Pianist
