The Knights - Beethoven Pastoral (1st mvmt)

The Knights--a young and dynamic orchestra from New York City--seek to expand the idea of what an ensemble can be through a unique atmosphere of camaraderie. This is a new DVD release on In a Circle Records; The Knights perform Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony.

A fellowship of musicians of diverse and accomplished backgrounds, The Knights come together for the shared joy of musical exploration.

The Knights have performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, as well as Ireland and Spain. They have collaborated with some of the most oustanding artists of today: Dawn Upshaw, Osvaldo Golijov, Gil Shaham, Mark O'Connor, Lara St.John and Jan Vogler. In 2009, The Knights opened the prestigious Dresden Music Festival with 2 sold-out concerts. They have recorded 2 albums for Sony Classical.

This orchestra renews my faith in humankind, especially these days. It's incredibly moving to see a group of talented young people having such a joyous relationship with classical music! I love the sprightly conducting of this movement, and the evident pleasure the musicians have in playing it. I hope you are wildly successful, and help young people to enjoy the best music in the world.
