They call it the “Fate” Symphony: Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is a monument of the Western collective imagination. It represents an individual consciousness determined to confront the greatest adversities in defence of its ideals. It invites reflection on paths entangled in subjectivity, yet powerfully seductive. It is a personal experience with universal aspirations, projected simultaneously onto the individual and Humanity as a whole. In this programme, it is paired with the expressive paradoxes of Pinho Vargas and with two other works which, by master and pupil alike, converge in the intimate and eloquent voice of the cello. Saint-Saëns’s Cello Concerto No. 2 and Fauré’s Élégie are entrusted to the charisma of Steven Isserlis, an eclectic and celebrated musician — in every sense of the word.
Pre-concert talk by Rui Campos Leitão at 4:30 pm.
