About

Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 was written in 1808 as a recollection of Nature and country life, mirroring the images and moods we associate with them. Throughout five movements, it evokes the awakening of joyful feelings upon arriving in the countryside, a scene by the brook, a merry gathering of country folk and a thunderstorm followed by a shepherd’s song of thanksgiving. On the other side of the mirror, however, Brett Dean's Pastoral Symphony, composed at the turn of our century, warns us “about the glorious birdsong, the threat that it faces, the loss, and the soulless noise that we’re left with when they’re all gone”.
