Penny Gore presents recent performances by the 大象传媒 Scottish SO, with a special focus on Fifth Symphonies.

We start today with Mahler under conductor Robert Spano. Tomorrow it's the turn of Beethoven's Fifth, with Fifths by both Tchaikovsky and Sibelius to end the week on Friday. Thursday Opera Matinee continues this year's celebration of Verdi's 200th birthday with his Shakespearian masterpiece Otello.

Also today, a Berlioz Shakespearian overture, a Chopin piano concerto, and the first of three brand new recordings of much rarer Polish music for piano and orchestra, by Chopin's younger compatriots Aleksander Zarzycki and Wladyslaw Zelenski.
