Kirill Petrenko and Gautier Capuçon
Ludwig van Beethoven rebelled against his developing deafness with his optimistic Second Symphony. There are occasional flashes of the uncompromising nature of his later works, but the symphony is still rooted in the perfectly balanced music of his teacher Haydn. Stravinsky in turn revived Baroque and Classical stylistic elements in his Pulcinella, while Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations are an homage to Mozart. The virtuoso cello part is played by Gautier Capuçon, with Kirill Petrenko conducting.
