Program notes
At the 2024 Verbier Festival, the esteemed maestro Sir Simon Rattle, conducts one of Beethoven's most paradigm-breaking, forward-looking masterpieces: the "Eroica" Symphony No. 3, a revolution in the symphonic form whose initial dedication to Napoleon was later retracted by the composer. And since this is the Verbier Festival, surprise special guests abound: Look closely at the musicians of the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra and see if you can spot Klaus Mäkelä, Leonidas Kavakos, and Lahav Shani among their ranks…
