Music Director Nicholas McGegan conducts Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra in Beethoven’s symphonies from his middle period on historically accurate instruments.

Writing of the live performance of Symphony No. 4, the San Francisco Classical Voice said: “This was the perfect music for this conductor and this orchestra, so beloved for their balance of wit and profundity…This was fine Beethoven playing — damn fine.”

The San Jose Mercury News noted, “Interpreted by McGegan and the orchestra, it was a joy…clear, direct, intimate Beethoven.”
