Beethoven's 7th Symphony dates from 1811-12. It is noted by contemporaries that Beethoven is said to have remarked (paraphrased) that it was one of his best works.[It is!]

Music Director Riccardo Muti conducts; plus there's music by Schumann, Catalani, and Samuel Adams.

In keeping with his desire to have the orchestra perform more less-often-heard works, Maestro Muti has music by Catalani and Martucci on the program.
