Segal, Y: Sonata for Orchestra (After Beethoven's Op. 30 No. 2)
Segal, Y: A Fidelio Symphony (After Beethoven's Op. 72)
Prokofiev, G: Beethoven9 Symphonic Remix (After Beethoven's Op. 125)

2020 is the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, and this album presents three works that reshape the composer's awe-inspiring music for the 21st century. The Sonata for Orchestra considers how the Violin Sonata No. 7 would sound had it been written for orchestra, while A Fidelio Symphony transforms vocal lines into symphonic textures to take us through the entire arc of the composers sole opera. Based on the famous Ode to Joy of Beethoven's final symphony, BEETHOVEN9 Symphonic Remix uses loops, grooves and musical transformations to create a contemporary tribute to Beethovens universal message.
