Experience chamber music given the 'Eclectica' treatment by virtuoso LSO principals. Exquisite duos and solo works lead up to a performance of Beethoven's Septet – a wonderfully attractive piece that was an immediate success when it premiered 211 years ago. His work proved so popular that Beethoven wished he had burned it; believing it overshadowed many of his later achievements.
