Igor Levit begins his residency with the San Francisco Symphony with Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto, a work that rose from the ravages of the Napoleonic wars as a musical testament to the people's heroism and resilience. Then, Esa-Pekka Salonen leads Beethoven's expansive Symphony No. 3, Eroica, where the struggle between good and evil plays out in the orchestra as heroic themes battle inner demons that lurk not far below.
