Nashville Symphony: Mozart & Beethoven January 8, 2011

Guest conductor Nicholas McGegan returns for a program devoted to three of classical music's foremost talents. Beethoven's frequently overlooked Fourth Symphony finds the composer developing his mastery of the symphonic form, with a mood of joyousness and spontaneity that provides a striking contrast to his Fifth Symphony. Mozart penned his equally exuberant Piano Concerto No. 22 during one of the most successful and productive periods of his career, as he generated innovative new ideas for the concerto genre.
