Beethoven's Second
For Ludwig van Beethoven, the year 1802 was a year of both confidence and despair. He was on a creative high, composing almost non-stop. And yet, he knew he was going deaf. He wrote, "As the leaves of autumn fall and are withered, so has my hope been blighted." Out of that mix came the second symphony, full of audacity and wit. We'll hear a recent concert performance by Christoph von Dohnanyi and the North German Radio Symphony.
