Wagner Siegfried Idyll
Liszt - Piano Concerto No.1 in E flat
Beethoven - Symphony No.3 in E flat, Op.55 ‘Eroica’
Originally written as a birthday gift for his wife and now arguably his best-loved orchestral work, Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll is based on music from the third opera in the Ring cycle and serenades us with lush harmonies. Listen out for Siegfried’s horn motif and the forest bird melody. The winner of the 1999 Leeds International Piano Competition, Artur Pizarro gave a spectacular performance of Saint-Saëns’ Second Piano Concerto in Huddersfield last season – expect more fireworks from his fingers this evening in Liszt’s First Concerto.
Beethoven’s revolutionary Third Symphony, the ‘Eroica’ (Heroic), changed the course of musical history, mapping out new territory for symphonic form as the music sweeps us along on a journey through struggle to eventual triumph.
