Penny Gore presents recent concerts by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. The week's focus on five Fifth Symphonies continues with the greatly loved No 5 by Tchaikovsky. The programme also features one of the most exciting overtures in the orchestral repertoire, by Tchaikovsky's Russian forebear Glinka, and two works with tragic connotations: Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto, coloured by the outbreak of World War Two in 1939, and Mozart's final, unfinished masterpiece - his Requiem, in a performing version by Robert Levin.
