Simon Russell Beale presents a radical reappraisal of the place of the symphony in the modern world
and explores the surprising way in which it has shaped our history and identity.

1. Genesis and Genius
The first episode begins amidst the turmoil of the French Revolution with the arrival in England of
Joseph Haydn, dubbed the 'Father of the Symphony'. It continues with Mozart, the genius who wrote
his first symphony at the age of eight, and Beethoven, the revolutionary who created the idea of the
artist as hero and whose Eroica Symphony changed music for ever. The music is performed by the
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, conducted by Sir Mark Elder.
