Story summary
- Martin Fröst conducted Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony at London’s Royal Albert Hall, framing it as a dance.
- He opened with the “Dance Now Always” programme, weaving works by Bach, Rameau, Jacob Mühlrad, Shai Wosner, himself and brother Göran into a half.
- Critics noted that Hans Ek’s Rameau Gigue blurred baroque edges into a modern pulse while Fröst stripped conventions, exposing the symphony’s sharp corners and motoric finale as a wild rumpus.
