There is great anticipation that their collaboration will produce a musicality that widely resonates with our modern time. Beethoven's seventh symphony is a masterpiece that expresses the everyday human emotions of the Viennese through rhythmic devices suggestive of dance. As directed by Luisi and faithfully performed by the NHKSO, this rendition will surely bring the listeners to their feet to dance along with Luisi and the citizens of Vienna. Take pleasure in the carefree and ebullient music, pleasing to both the eye and ear that only an implicit trust and bond between conductor and orchestra can produce.
