Beethoven’s 4th Symphony & Rossini’s Stabat Mater

Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 delights with wit, warmth, and bursts of vitality. From its mysterious introduction to its joyful finale, this symphony reveals Beethoven at his most playful and inventive. Sandwiched between two symphonic giants, Eroica and Symphony No. 5, his charming Fourth may not be as frequently performed, but it is nonetheless a magnificent work.
