Watch the renowned Adam Fischer rehearse Beethoven’s Symphonies 4 and 5 with the Orchestra the very day of the performance.
Written during Beethoven’s most trying times, he expresses his will to his brother in a letter ‘it shall certainly not bend and crush me completely.’ Not only does Beethoven express his battle in words but with music as he composes both his 4th and 5th symphonies. Watch Adam Fischer grasp and interpret the music with the company of the Orchestra just before they head on stage.
