Prom 7 - Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
Work:: Prom 7 (S369)
Part of the BBC Proms.
Production:: Beethoven's Fifth Symphony (T0940117495)
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony has one of classical music's most famous openings. This iconic four-note motif returns again and again. Is it a thunderclap - or fate, knocking at the door? Make up your own mind at a Prom that also features lush orchestrations of music by the Romantic composer Sergei Rachmaninov, plus a rhapsodic work for solo violin by pioneering Black British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor – originally premiered in 1912, just weeks before the composer's tragic death at the age of just 37.
