The main work of this concert with the Berlin Philharmonic Octet is Beethoven’s early Septet in E flat major – one of his most popular works during his lifetime. The music is lyrical and colourful, and its slow moments are also deeply emotional. The programme also includes the Sextet for Clarinet, Horn and String Quartet by Composer in Residence Wolfgang Rihm, and arrangements of Schubert’s Moments musicaux.
