Beethoven: 5ª sinfonía

A programme dedicated to Beethoven as part of the Beethoven Year: the Piano Concerto No. 5 "Emperor", with pianist Shiran Wang as soloist, and Symphony No. 5, at the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid.

This concert brings together two works by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) in an evening of classical music organised at the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid to mark the Beethoven Year. The first part is devoted to the Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major, Op. 73, known as the "Emperor", with pianist Shiran Wang at the piano. It consists of three movements, marked Allegro, Adagio and a final Rondo also in Allegro.

The second part is taken up by the Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67, one of the composer's best-known symphonies. It is performed in four movements, following the indications Allegro con brio, Andante con moto, Scherzo and a final Allegro. The programme highlights its dramatic force and the solidity of its sonic construction.

The Auditorio Nacional, located on Calle Príncipe de Vergara, is devoted mainly to classical music and is home to the Orquesta Nacional de España and the Coro Nacional de España. It is the usual venue for these ensembles in the capital.
