You Say You Want a Revolution?
We think of Beethoven as a giant, a composer who revolutionized music. We'll go back to the beginning of the Beethoven revolution: his Symphony No. 1, by a young and ambitious composer just finding his distinctive musical voice. Jaap van Zweden conducts the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, in concert at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
