    Thorvaldsdottir’s concerto features soloist Johannes Moser, renowned for his efforts to expand the reach of the classical genre, as well as his passionate focus on new music.

    Beethoven's music has often accompanied major turning points in European history. The Seventh Symphony was performed in November 1989. Three days after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Berlin Philharmonic played it at a concert for East Germans. The concert was free; all you had to do was show your GDR identity card at the door of the Philharmonie. Already at four o’clock in the morning, a long line had formed around the concert hall.
