Symphony No. 4 in B flat major, Op 60

Available for over a year

Often overshadowed by Beethoven's 3rd and 5th symphonies, No 4 is lighter in tone. It begins with a sombre introduction and ends with the non-stop, pulsating last movement. Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven Performers: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Gianandrea Noseda Recording date: 28 May 2005 Date of broadcast: 07 June 2005
