Beethoven's Pastoral
Beethoven was inspired by the lush, wooded landscapes around Vienna when he wrote his Pastoral Symphony. He told a friend, "the birds up there, the quails, nightingales, and cuckoos all around, they composed with me." Today, we'll hear the snowbirds of the Cleveland Orchestra in Beethoven's Symphony No. 6, from a concert in their winter home in warm and sunny Miami.
