Beethoven and Haydn in Finchley
Finchley’s choir and orchestra come together again with conductor David Lardi to round off their seasons. The programme consists of two masterpieces by composers at the height of their powers.
Beethoven’s seventh symphony pulsates with energy; Wagner described it as the “apotheosis of dance”. An oasis of calm is provided by the well-known Allegretto which begins with the same note 13 played times!
The ‘Harmoniemesse’, so-called because its orchestra employs unusually large wind and brass forces, was Haydn’s last major work. The 70-year old composer displays all his musical mastery in a variety of forms and styles.
