Royal Liverpool Philharmonic & Veronika Eberle - Eroica

The RLPO are joined by Veronika Eberle, who has established a reputation as one of the most promising violin talents to emerge from Germany in recent years.

“If I understood war like I understand music, I would conquer him!” Ludwig van Beethoven was an idealist – and when his hero Napoleon betrayed the revolution, he tore up the score of his Eroica symphony.

That same energy pulses through every bar of this game-changing work, and Domingo Hindoyan certainly won’t hold back tonight. But Beethoven was a poet, too, and when Veronika Eberle plays his radiant Violin Concerto, you’ll hear just how beautiful music can be.

As an added treat, her performance on Thursday 20 March will incorporate ingenious new cadenzas by Jörg Widmann: one of Germany’s boldest living composers shaking hands across the centuries with the greatest of them all.
