Ludvig van Beethoven
Piano Concerto No. 3 (34 mins)
Hector Berlioz
Symphonie Fantastique (49 mins)
Adam Hickox conductor
Paul Lewis piano
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra
Drug-fuelled fantasies are not often seen in listings of classical concerts, but that’s the semi-autographical basis for Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, which features a hallucinatory march, a satanic dance, and passion aplenty. The symphony is preceded by Beethoven’s sublimely beautiful Piano Concerto in which bold muscular melodies combine with music of unbelievable, fragile beauty - tonight played by one of the UK’s greatest pianists.
Concert lasts around 2 hours including a 20 minute interval
