The mighty Fifth: Complete Beethoven Symphonies

演出简介

Few orchestras can match the Berlin Philharmonic in their legacy of awe‐inspiring interpretations of Beethoven. Sir Simon Rattle leads the orchestra in the complete symphonies at the Philharmonie — an opportunity not to be missed, particularly as they reach one of the world's most famous musical moments.

The Second Symphony makes an apt opening the second concert – a monument to Classical style that makes the surprise of the Fifth Symphony, with a score written only a few years later, all the greater. Perhaps the most instantly recognisable musical motif in history, the work’s opening theme has been used repeatedly in other contexts, including as the call sign for the BBC's broadcasts to Europe during World War II.
