A testament to Beethoven’s sly wit, the Eighth Symphony finds the revolutionary composer transforming beloved 18th-century dance forms with new dramatic possibilities. And violinist Kerson Leong displays his "clear and powerful” playing (PAN M 360) in Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, a brilliant, dazzling showpiece for the instrument.
