Gerald Barry Piano Concerto / Beethoven Symphonies 1-3
Britten Sinfonia
Performances of Beethoven's 1st, 2nd and 3rd Symphonies begin the cycle of releases of each of his 9 Symphonies, played by the Britten Sinfonia under Tom Adès. This is accompanied by Gerald Barry's piece Beethoven and his Piano Concerto on this initial recording.
Gerald Barry grew up in rural Ireland. His music shows us how his upbringing had an effect on his compositional style - giving a piece a title such as Beethoven would suggest an attempt at emulating his legacy nearly two centuries after his death. Do not be fooled by this however; his music shows his major influence from radio, moving from the sublime and the ridiculous with carefree abandon.
