“Currentzis compares the Seventh Symphony to classical and ancient architecture [...] the original music of the orchestra sonoraAeterna plays with almost exemplary transparency.” Deutschlandfunk

In the ancient theater of Delphi, with the ruins of the Temple of Apollo as a backdrop, musicAeterna, conducted by Teodor Currentzis, performs Ludwig van Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, accompanied by new choreography by Sasha Waltz and her company.

Beethoven completed the symphony in 1812. Its premiere in 1813, in the midst of the war of liberation, was a patriotic event and a huge success. Wagner's description of this symphony as an “apotheosis of dance” is legendary. The fusion of the symphony with a dance performance would undoubtedly have been in the spirit of the great master of this Gesamtkunstwerk.
