Saturday 23 November 2019This programme explores how composers have made their views heard about current and historical events. From Beethoven's Eroica Symphony originally dedicated to Napoleon, Shostakovitch's response to composing under the Soviet Regime to Sibelius' desire for freedom for the Finnish people and Copland's powerful 'Fanfare for the Common Man'.
