»I think heaven and earth must tremble beneath one at their performance!« The great »classics« not only moved contemporaries, but also us today. Beethoven's pupil Ferdinand Ries experienced an inner shaking during Beethoven's »Eroica«, just as we do during a successful concert. Beethoven's »Eroica«, his Fifth Symphony, Tchaikovsky's fairy-tale ballet suite »The Nutcracker« or Schubert's Great Symphony in C Major with its »heavenly lengths«: they are all »classics« that have a firm place in our cultural life - for centuries they have been a source of inspiration for connoisseurs and an inexhaustible source of joy for us lovers. In the »Classics« cycle you can get to know and rediscover the canon of concert life, masterfully performed by large orchestras such as the Vienna Symphony Orchestra or in a smaller style by the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, led by top-class conductors such as Christoph Eschenbach and Susanna Mälkki.
