David Robertson in conversation with Albrecht Mayer

“Beethoven understands that there is a kind of slowness to nature”, says David Robertson, who conducted the Pastoral during his guest appearance with the Philharmoniker. He talks to principal oboist Albrecht Mayer about nature and the threats it faces in Beethoven’s symphony as well as in works by Edgar Varèse and Miroslav Srnka.
