Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Boccherini & Berwald

Sydney Opera House Sydney, NSW, Australia
The Grand Septet by Berwald is beautifully written; with short melodic fragments building and dancing around each other, it features some inspired interplay between the string and wind instruments.

Editor's Choice Beethoven’s Fifth

West Australian Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven’s Fifth

Winthrop Hall Perth, WA, Australia
Ta–ta–ta–taaa! Ta–ta–ta–taaa! In his 1840 biography of Beethoven, Anton Schindler suggested that the opening notes of the Fifth Symphony were the sound of “Fate knocking at the door”. A century later, the Allies dubbed the work the Victory Symphony, because those same beats spelled out the letter V in Morse code.…
