Quick Fix at Half Six: Beethoven's Second Symphony

Beethoven's Second Symphony, with its dramatic opening and light-speed strings, has one foot in the classical era, and one in the romantic. With its captivating melodies and good cheer, itâ€™s hard to contemplate that while writing this, Beethovenâ€™s deafness was becoming more profound, and he was in the darkest moments of his life.

Conductor Chad Kelly guides this journey from darkness to light, complemented by C.P.E Bachâ€™s vibrant Sinfonia and Lockeâ€™s atmospheric Tempest theme â€“ a perfect showcase of musical evolution across three distinct voices.
