Two works that capture the rebellious spirit and heroism of the first years of the 19th Century with Maxim Emelyanychev and Vilde Frang .

Both the ‘Eroica’ (Heroic) Symphony and Violin Concerto, rebelled against contemporary expectations of what a symphony or concerto should be. Both are unprecedentedly epic, taking the performers to the edge of their resources. Here is where mettle is tested, the place where rebels become heroes.
