BEETHOVEN - Symphony No. 5 in C Minor Listen button
SHOSTAKOVICH - Symphony No. 5 in D MinorListen button
A pair of 5’s—two of the most dramatic symphonies in the repertoire. Beethoven's famous Fifth is a journey from darkness to light, from turmoil to victory. Shostakovich's Fifth has a similar arc, but was written under duress as the composer had to satisfy a tyrannical Stalin. The result is a tour-de-force of ironic protest and a testament to the indomitable human spirit.
