Beethoven: Symphony No. 5

Discovering Music

Available for over a year

Its the most famous piece of classical music ever written, an instant representation of drama, tension, even classical music itself. Whether you hear that iconic opening idea as Fate knocking at the door, or just a simple representation of a yellowhammer's song, it runs all the way through Beethoven's most popular work, his Symphony No. 5. Presented by Stephen Johnson.
