Episode 2: Beethoven: A’ Chuirm Ghà idhlig
In concert, ancient Gaelic songs and versions with arrangements by Beethoven. Dreach Beethoven air seann òrain Ghà idhlig.
The discovery that Beethoven’s arrangement of the song Enchantress Farewell was a reworking of a Gaelic song, Mhnathan a’ Ghlinne Seo, led German scholar Michael Klevenhaus to search for more connections between old Gaelic melodies and the great German composer. That search featured in the recent documentary Òrain Ghà idhlig Beethoven (Beethoven’s Gaelic Songs).
This concert, featuring both traditional and classical musicians, highlights more of the Gaelic songs that Michael discovered had found their way to Beethoven and the classical repertoire. The featured musicians are:
Traditional singers Mairi MacInnes and Michael Klevenhaus.
Scots piper Allan MacDonald and German piper Thomas Zöllner.
Scottish classical singers Lorna Anderson (soprano) and Jamie MacDougall (tenor).
And the classical instrumentalists Verena Stourzh, Franz Ortner, Clemens Zeilinger of the Trio Van Beethoven.

Bha’n sgrùdadh aige ri fhaicinn sa phrògram Òrain Ghà idhlig Beethoven.
