Geography can be the cause of injustices which we would now like to put right. For example, Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony, situated between two sentences without appeal in the great court of music, his Third and Fifth Symphonies, has been condemned to an unassuming second plane which its quality does not deserve. The excuse for this lack of recognition resides in the fact that we can distinguish clearly in the score the footprints of Haydn, teacher of the deaf musician who is the most often heard in auditoriums. Next among the new interpreters in the musical panorama, Dario Miriño, winner of the competition “El Primer Palau”, will decode the Weber score, which mines the richest vein of lyrical virtuosity of the clarinet. David Giménez Carreras, Conductor Emeritus of the OSV, will join in, with a hidden surprise included.
