Behind the Music, THE NINTH
Conductor Matthias Maute speaks with Artistic Producer Andrew Chung about Beethoven's Ninth Symphony: its huge impact on symphonic composers for generations to come, the performers involved at its premiere, and the challenges of building an interpretation that taps into Beethoven's original intentions. They also discuss 'Ambe' by Andrew Balfour, a choral setting of an Ojibway welcoming song that will open the 2023-24 London Symphonia season.
