Symphonie Nr. 7 A-Dur op. 92

Ludwig van Beethoven left us no more enchanting final movement than that of his Seventh Symphony. Richard Wagner saw it as the «apotheosis of dance». Hector Berlioz also had an opinion about this milestone in Beethoven’s symphonic work, comparing the opening movement to a «ronde des paysans », a «peasant dance». Berlioz himself excelled as a melodist with his «Nuits d’été». And the overture to Beethoven’s only major ballet music has now become part of the standard orchestral repertoire: «The Creatures of Prometheus» was, like the Seventh Symphony, premiered to enormous acclaim in Vienna.
