SUMMARY:Kluxen & Hetherington – Beethoven Symphony No. 7
DESCRIPTION:A festive Danish curtain-raiser by Friedrich Kuhlau (Beethoven’s contemporary and a composer central to Denmark’s musical identity) sets the tone for a season that celebrates place and belonging in a time when national songs resonate more than ever. Berlioz\, another nineteenth-century visionary who expanded the orchestra’s expressive range\, turns that brightness inward with Les Nuits d’été\, a tender farewell to summer sung by mezzo-soprano Alex Hetherington. Britta Byström’s A Walk to Beethoven\, commissioned by Christian Kluxen during his Arctic Philharmonic tenure\, answers across time with a luminous bridge leading naturally into Beethoven’s radiant Seventh Symphony—a “celebration of humanity being unworried and free.”
