Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony

Ludwig van Beethoven named his sixth symphony the Pastoral, describing his love of the countryside. Ernest Chausson’s song cycle Poème de l’amour et de la mer (Poem of love and the sea) portrays the flowers of the sea and the death of love, and in Jean Sibelius’ dance intermezzo Pan and Echo, the shepherd god Pan’s chasing of the nymph Echo is set to music. Spanish conductor Roberto González-Monjas leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Italian baritone Andrè Schuen in this concert where the love of, and in, nature takes center stage.
