Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment archiveThe OAE is much more than one of the world's pre-eminent period instrument ensembles. It works regularly with conductors who specialise in both early music and the modern repertoire, and has explored the work of composers from Bach to Mahler, Handel to Borodin. Ivan Fischer, known for his electrifying and energetic performances, conducts this concert which contrasts Beethoven’s hugely popular Eroica Symphony with the lesser known No.2. It did not go down well at its premiere, one critic calling it a ‘crass monster’. Today, with the benefit of hindsight, we can see the symphony as the expression of a young high-spirited Beethoven, and a piece of music which both looks forward to the future while also acknowledging the musical heritage of Mozart and Haydn.
