Description
Curtain up for Beethoven and Thomas Heywood! In this film, Beethoven’s “Eroica,” Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, receives its world premiere as an organ work. Since 2020 (Beethoven’s 250th birthday), Australian organist Thomas Heywood has been busy transcribing all nine of Beethoven’s symphonies in their entirety for the organ, recording them and presenting them in concert. By 2027 (200th anniversary of his death) he wants to be finished.
