Hear Beethoven's First Symphony exactly as early audiences did: on period instruments with gut strings, valveless horns, and wooden flutes that reveal the vivid orchestral colors and witty energy that electrified listeners in 1800. Violinist Shunske Sato leads the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra through this season finale, tracing Beethoven's originality back to C.P.E. Bach's delightful "kinks and quirks."
