This is it, the big one - DA DA DA DUUUUUUN! Arguably the most famous piece of classical music, the symphony that surely secured Beethoven in the list of greatest composers of all time. The opening movement slams you in the gut and doesn't relent.
The extraordinary power of Beethoven鈥檚 fifth symphony charges inexorably through the centuries to land a sucker punch possessed of revolutionary fervour - with no less resonance than those first performances which stunned and confounded audiences in Vienna.
