Brahms and Beethoven

Brahms scored his Schicksaslied (Song of Destiny) as a man haunted by fate and longing for divine connection. Philharmonic cellist Leah Hansen takes on Paul Moravec’s “Montserrat” concerto. Beethoven’s Egmont, the complete incidental music for Goethe’s play of the same name, is performed here with soprano and narrator to tell the complete heroic tale of defiance.
