Beethoven Project: Symphonies 4 + 7

From the venue:

In just over 30 years, Ludwig van Beethoven produced works that shattered norms and became the North Star for generations of composers. This week, Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann leads the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in the magnificent Seventh, a piece that bristles with bounding exuberance and rustic charm yet shimmers with a kind of unfathomable genius. Hear the Seventh Symphony paired with the electric energy of the Fourth Symphony, a piece that Hector Berlioz admired for its contrasts between a “lively, alert, and joyful” spirit and a “heavenly gentleness.”
