Canterbury: Musical Heroes

90-year old Maestro Herbert Blomstedt brings more than 60 years of conducting experience to the music of classical giants Mozart and Beethoven. Instantly recognisable, the nervous melody that opens Mozart’s most famous symphony gives rise to music brimming with drama and anticipation, full of twists and turns leading to a gripping finale. Beethoven’s ground breaking Eroica Symphony is as heroic as its title suggests, bigger and longer than anything that had come before, with its deeply moving funeral march and electrifying finale ending in a blaze of glory.
