Haydn Symphony No.82 (The Bear) Beethoven Violin Concerto Nielsen Symphony No.1 in G minor Tonight’s concert celebrates the work of three great symphonists at the height of their creative powers. Nielsen’s First Symphony was memorably described by one critic as ‘a child playing with dynamite,’ and if Haydn’s The Bear finds the old Master composing with a youthful pizzazz and energy, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto possesses a radiant lyrical expansiveness.
