"Who doesn't have a love affair with Beethoven? His music is food for the soul. Here are three examples of his unrivalled genius in a program dedicated completely to him. The
Leonore No. 3 is, in my mind, possibly his greatest overture, and from the first time I heard his third piano concerto as a student at Juilliard, I was overwhelmed by its emothional depth and profound beauty. Finally, when you think symphony, you think Beethoven. Each of his symphonies is a masterwork, but the seventh emerges as an extraordinary work
among extraordinary works. This is Beethoven at the peak of his power...magnificent...trancendent." -
