Beethoven Project: Triple Concerto

Nathalie Stutzmann David Coucheron, violin Daniel Laufer, cello Julie Coucheron, piano Atlanta Symphony Orchestra BEETHOVEN: Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano STRAUSS: Eine Alpensinfonie (An Alpine Symphony) It's three times the charm when Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann presents Beethoven's Triple Concerto, part of the Beethoven Festival. The Beethoven Triple mingles the singing qualities of three solo instruments while showing off the artistry of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra family. Also on the program, the virtuosic ASO takes an Alpine trek with Richard Strauss. The ultimate master of tone painting, Strauss begins the journey before dawn, greeting one of the most spectacular sunrises in music. Then, through the ascent, the Orchestra traverses babbling brooks and Alpine meadows to reach the awe-inspired summit, followed by an apocalyptic thunderstorm. The setting sun conjures a deep sense of satisfaction at the journey's end.
