Symphony No. 7: Dithyrambic abandon | Gardiner and the ORR on Beethoven's Symphonies

For this instalment of our Beethoven Symphonies Series we were unable to complete filming due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the subsequent lock-down imposed in March. However, as we were committed to continuing this series, John Eliot Gardiner recorded his reflections on Beethoven’s Seventh from his home in Dorset, using an iPhone, and shares his insights on this magnificent, dance-inspired symphony. This film is accompanied by excerpts from our 2011 live recording of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 at Carnegie Hall, which you can buy here:
