2022 04 29 Nature in music

Nature has always held an irresistible fascination for composers. And there is no shortage of musical works inspired directly by Nature’s mystery, beauty and rejuvenating power. Essentially expressing the feelings engendered by contact with the natural world, Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony occupies pride of place among them. The distinguished conductor Miltos Logiadis leads the musicians of the Athens State Orchestra in a new reading of this awe-inspiring symphony, while the orchestra's tireless Theodor Milkov performs the première of a new work by the internationally celebrated composer Christos Hatzis inspired by the Spring Equinox.
