  1. Symphony No 85 in B flat, 'La reine' - (Franz) Joseph Haydn
  2. Concert for violn and orchestra in A major Op 5 No 2 - Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges
  3. Symphony No 3 in E flat, 'Eroica' Op 55 - Ludwig van Beethoven

The fourth of Haydn’s ground-breaking Paris set of symphonies is one of the finest in his whole huge output. Three stately opening movements (befitting its ‘royal’ title) give way to a dancing, light-hearted finale.

It’s followed by a violin concerto by one of the great figures of 18th century French music, a composer, violinist, and conductor born in Guadeloupe, whose amazing life story is told in the film Chevalier, and whose virtuoso orchestra commissioned the Paris symphonies from Haydn.

Beethoven’s Eroica symphony expanded both symphonic form and musical language in one astounding blow. The emotional heart of the piece is the famous funeral march, and it ends with a set of variations on a simple tune that overflows with musical imagination.
