BBC Proms S2020E06 - Exploring Beethoven's Seventh

To celebrate Beethoven's 250th anniversary, Tom Service presents a concert in which conductor Nicholas Collon and the Aurora Orchestra unpick Beethoven's Seventh Symphony to explore the composer's creative genius, before performing the work from memory. Also on the bill at the Royal Albert Hall is a new work by British composer Richard Ayres, whose piece is inspired by Beethoven's struggle with his loss of hearing.
