Beethoven Symphony No. 5
Few pieces in the history of the art of music have achieved the iconic power and reputation of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. In this awe-inspiringly concentrated composition, Beethoven not only invented a musical language of an unparalleled originality and overpowering force which still influences us today, but swept music out of the concert hall and into the wider world of human thought and experience. For more than 200 years, this symphony has shown us that music has the power to transform the way we live and think.
