Beethoven's Fifth
The London Symphony Orchestra performs Shostakovich's Symphony No 9, Beethoven's Symphony No 5 and is joined by Seong-Jin Cho for Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No 2.
The London Symphony Orchestra performs three groundbreaking works. Shostakovich's 9th Symphony was supposed to celebrate Soviet military might, but its subversiveness caused it to be banned by the authorities. Then the LSO is joined by South Korean pianist Seong-Jin Cho for one of the most technically challenging works in the piano repertoire - Prokofiev's Piano Concerto no.2. The concert closes with Beethoven's fate-driven Symphony no.5.
Recorded last week at the Barbican in London, presented by Penny Gore.
