Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Concerto no. 1
---
Franz Schubert: Symphony no. 4

Estonian-born pianist Irina Zahharenkova is Artist-in-Residence with the Tapiola Sinfonietta in the 2024–2025 season. Now based in Finland, she won an impressive string of prizes in international piano competitions in the early 2000s. Here, she opens our series of Beethoven’s Piano Concertos with no. 1 in C major. Schubert wrote his Symphony no. 4 in C minor, the key of Beethoven’s celebrated no. 5. Later sub-titled ‘Tragic’, it is an outpouring of passion by the then 18-year-old composer along the lines of Mozart’s G minor and Beethoven’s C minor symphonies. Lorenza Borrani wanted to become a trumpet player at the age of five, having seen elephants play trumpets in a Disney film. Instead, she became a violinist. She has been leader of the European Chamber Orchestra since 2008.
