Prom 72: Mozart, Farrenc and Beethoven's 'Eroica' Symphony. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, with Antonello Manacorda conducting, in symphonies by Mozart, Louise Farrenc and Beethoven - his 'Eroica', live from the Royal Albert Hall. Presented by Ian Skelly, live from the Royal Albert Hall. Mozart: Symphony No. 1 in E flat major, K16. Farrenc: Symphony No. 3 in G minor. 8.25pm Interval. 8.45pm Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, 'Eroica'. Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Antonello Manacorda (conductor). Longer, louder and more arresting than any music that had gone before it, Beethoven's 'Eroica' Symphony left audiences dumbfounded at its first performance in 1805. Over two centuries later, its ideals of liberty, endurance and fortitude remain undimmed. Played on the period instruments of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Beethoven's pivotal symphony will appear fresh-minted under Antonello Manacorda. He begins with a perky little number by the eight-year-old Mozart and continues with the intensity, power and momentum of the Symphony No. 3 by 19th-century France's compositional trailblazer, Louise Farrenc
