From its opening musical thunderbolts to the tragic funeral march, Beethoven’s Eroica was intended to honour his hero Napoleon until the latter declared himself emperor and the composer changed his mind! Instead, he expresses universal ideals of humanity, liberty, and revolution with symphonic grandeur. Pianist Ng Chong Lim performs Beethoven’s poetic 4th concerto, conducted by Gerard Salonga.
