Musical Moments - Elīna Garanča / Beethoven

 “Musical moments” can be moments of memories or reflection, a retrospect of the past or an anticipation of the future, that are enriched by hearing or thinking of a special piece of music in that same moment. Further artists in the series include Daniel Barenboim, Yuja Wang, Nadine Sierra, Avi Avital and Albrecht Mayer just to name a few.

This week, the whole world is coming together in celebrating Ludwig van Beethoven. For the special occasion of the 250th anniversary of this eternal genius, here is his beloved song Zärtliche Liebe, intriguingly sung by Elīna Garanča, one of the most acclaimed mezzo-sopranos in the world.
