Description
Inspired by the French Revolution, Beethoven broke the boundaries of symphonic form with his “Eroica”. The work was longer, grander, and more innovative than any symphony had been before. It also presented a combative tone, unlike anything the audience had experienced.
Gustavo Dudamel pairs Beethoven’s Third Symphony with another revolutionary work: Gabriela Ortiz’s Revolución diamantina. This piece addresses the so-called “Glitter Revolution,” the feminist protest against the ongoing violence against women in Mexico. The music, as Dudamel describes it, is “full of intuitive, primal rhythms and mysterious, soulful sound worlds.”
