Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven's Pastoral — Ludovic Morlot, conductor, and Jonathan Biss, piano

This is a program of pure poetry, including the radiant Schumann Concerto, whose warmth and thematic diversity will be the perfect vehicle for the supreme artistry of Jonathan Biss. Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, a work that’s likely among the “top ten” of every orchestral music enthusiast, closes the program with its vivid depiction of the sights, sounds and feelings of country life.
