Beethoven and the Symphonies: Beauty and Revelation with Daniele Gatti and the Mozart Orchestra

Ludwig van Beethoven

• Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60
• Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67

Daniele Gatti conducts Beethoven's Fourth and Fifth symphonies. What better start to the season could the Milanese conductor – who has undertaken to perform Beethoven's complete symphonies with the Orchestra Mozart – have in store for the LuganoMusica audience?

And when the Symphony No. 5 is performed on stage, one can only think of absolute music, pure energy that transcends all limits through the power of the soul. The infinite soul of such beauty still finds its own strength today, just as the first reviewer Hoffmann wrote in the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung: the Fifth has a kind of revelatory power.

It leads the human being to unsuspected levels of awareness: "It opens up an unknown realm to man". It introduces and accompanies us into a world devoid of anything in common with "the outer world of the senses that surround us" that it does not even resemble. The nostalgia for places never seen and the sadness felt at the remembrance of words never heard are the innermost roots of Romantic restlessness. The answers to our questions come spontaneously, luminously. Beethoven's music moves the levers of emotion. "He separates his ego from the inner realm of sounds and rules over them like an absolute lord".
