Often criticised by his contemporaries for valuing novelty over beauty, Beethoven’s innovative colour continues to shine through in the Second Symphony. A transition between the Classical elegance of his early career and the wild Romanticism of his later compositions, the score is littered with abrupt changes in tonality in mood. 

The Fifth, of course, needs no introduction: the opening ‘da-da- da-duuum’ rhythm is known the world over and was even sent into space aboard the Voyager as a musical representation of humanity. It’s an awe-inspiring piece that wrings every drop of emotion out of the music, with more to discover in every performance.
