In this five-session course, Alexandre Delgado sets these revolutionary works, composed between 1800 and 1824, in context and analyses them in detail.
Nothing in the orchestral repertoire compares with the fascination of Beethoven’s nine symphonies. With the mythical status they have acquired since the nineteenth century, they can fairly be said to sit at the centre of the classical music universe – almost synonymous with it.
