Overview
Beethoven and Mahler
“Eroica,” the third symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven deserves its heroic nickname. Originally dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, the composer angrily scratched out the inscription replacing it with “dedicated to the memory of a great man.” In this performance, Eva Vogel joins Josep Caballé-Domenech and the Philharmonic for Gustav Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder, wrapping the listener in beautiful grief and worshipful hope.
