No matter how many times one listens to his music, Beethovenâs command of contrasting worlds and conflict is breathtaking, says Richard Tognetti, artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
The German master created some of the most sublime, sensitive, electrifying and fiery works, sometimes composed at the same time and premiered in the very same concert.
Still heard: Beethoven turns 250 this year.
âBeethoven is minimalist and maximalist, a composer of immensely conflicted personae,â Tognetti says. âBeethoven the moralist, environmentalist, philosopher; Beethoven the enraged, fulminating against the establishment and elites, hubristic, histrionic and yet tragic. Beethoven the disrupter and Beethoven the clarifier of musical intention.â�
